 MS-6712 ATX Mainboard
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 33/66/
100/133 controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA
33/66/100/133 function. You can connect up to four hard disk drives, CD-
ROM, 120MB Floppy (reserved for future BIOS) and other devices.
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.

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.

Fan Power Connectors: CFAN1/SFAN1
The CFAN1 (processor fan) and SFAN1 (system fan) support system
cooling fan with +12V. It supports three-pin head connector. When connect-
ing the wire to the connectors, always take note that the red wire is the posi-
tive 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. CPUFAN supports the fan control. You can install the PC
Alert utility that will automatically control the CPU fan speed
according to the actual CPU temperature.
