Installing and Configuring the TF680i SLI Deluxe Motherboard

Connecting IDE Hard Disk Drives

The IDE connector supports Ultra ATA 133/100/66 IDE hard disk drives.
1. Connect the blue connector (the cable end with a single connector) to the

motherboard.

2. Connect the black connector (the cable with the two closely spaced black

and gray connectors) to the Ultra ATA master device.

3. Connect the gray connector to a slave device.

If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second drive as a

slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk
documentation for the jumper settings.

Note:

If an ATA-66/100 disk driv e and a disk drive using any other IDE transf er

protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between
the driv es may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.

Connecting Serial ATA Cables

The Serial ATA II connector is used to connect the Serial ATA II device to the

motherboard. These connectors support the thin Serial ATA II cables for
primary storage devices. The current Serial ATA II interface allows up to

300MB/s data transfer rate.
There are six serial ATA connectors on the motherboard that support RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 0+1 and JBOD configurations.

1. Connect the locking cable end to the

motherboard connector.

2. Connect the end without the lock to the drive.
