Hardware Setup
The mainboard provides connectors to connect to FDD, IDE HDD, case,
LAN, USB Ports, IR module and CPU/System/Power Supply FAN.
Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1
The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector that
supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types.
Connectors
FDD1
Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1/SFAN1, SFAN2/NBFAN1
The CPUFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1/SFAN2 (system fan) and NBFAN1
(NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports
three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, al-
ways take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the
+12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the
mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a
specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan
control.
MSI Reminds You...
1. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2. CPUFAN1 supports the fan control. You can install Core
Center utility that will automatically control the CPU fan speed
according to the actual CPU temperature.

ATA100 Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100
controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100
function. You can connect up to four hard disk drives, CD-ROM and other IDE
devices.
The Ultra ATA100  interface boosts data transfer rates between the
computer and the hard drive up to 100 megabytes (MB) per second. The new
interface is one-third faster than earlier record-breaking Ultra ATA/100
technology and is backwards compatible with the existing Ultra ATA interface.
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a
Master and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard drive to Slave mode
by setting the jumper accordingly.
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.
MSI Reminds You...
If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure the
second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper. Refer to the
hard disk documentation supplied by hard disk vendors for
jumper setting instructions.
