Power Supply
The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system.
Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure
that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage
will be caused. A 300W or above power supply is suggested.
ATX 20-Pin Power Connector: ATX1
This connector allows you to connect to an ATX power supply. To
connect to the ATX power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the
proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the
connector.
ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1
This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU.
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.
IDE Connectors: IDE1/IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra
DMA 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 and other devices.
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 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.
Serial ATA Connectors controlled by nVIDIA MCP2SL: SATA1, SATA2
The Southbridge of this mainboard is nVIDIA MCP2SL, which supports two serial connectors
SATA1 & SATA2.
SATA1 & SATA2 are dual high-speed Serial ATA interface ports. Each supports
1st generation serial ATA data rates of 150 MB/s. Both connectors are fully
