New Built P5W dh Help
Hi all:
I am building a new system on the P5W DH. I have one SATA hard drive and one SATA optical drive to set up. No RAID configuration will be used. After reading the user guide, I think the SATA drive should be connected to the SATA1 Intel ICH7R connector using the default Standard IDE mode? But how about the SATA optical drive (a Plextor DVD burner)? Which connector should I use? There are so many SATA connectors and the guide only mentioned connecting the hard drive. I cannot find any help regarding the SATA optical drive connection. Thanks in advance. Ed

You should be able to use any of the SATA connections. However, put the
hard drive on the first SATA port. ed wang wrote: Hi all: I am building a new system on the P5W DH. I have one SATA hard drive and one SATA optical drive to set up.
