EFORE YOU START
Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the
mainboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:
Prepare a dry and stable working environment with
sufficient lighting.
Always disconnect the system from power outlet
before operation.
Before you take the mainboard out from anti-static
bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely
grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to
remove the static charge.
Avoid touching the components on mainboard or the
rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board
on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.
Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the
case after installation. Loose parts will cause short
circuits which may damage the equipment.
Keep the system from dangerous area, such as heat
source, humid air, and water.

ATA Device Connector
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 functionality. It has one
IDE connector.
The IDE connector can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can connect
up to two ATA devices.
Be aware of that the CF socket on the back panel uses IDE Master as
default channel. If the CF socket is inserted with CF card, the ATA
connector would allow only one device and the device should be set to
IDE Slave.

Serial ATA Connectors
These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for primary
internal storage devices. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to
3.0Gbit/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s
(Ultra DMA).
USB 2.0 Connectors
The mainboard provides two front USB pin headers, allowing up to 3 or 4
additional USB2.0 ports up to maximum throughput of 480 Mbps. Connect the
2-port USB cables into these pin headers. These ports can be used to connect
high-speed USB interface peripherals.
