I can not find DVD connection socket in the Asus MoBo.

[jeanone]

Today, my rare off-day. With high expectations, I started assembling my 'supercom'. This is my first ever attempt (with fear).

My fear became reality.
I could not find socket of DVD on MOBO. There is a HDD drive socket, and a floppy disc socket.

Mother Board is Asus M2N32-sli Wireless edition
DVD os Lighton Light Scribe. (both cited in Rob's Article)

I am stucked. Please help me.

DVD drives are optical drives. Most are what are called UMD/IDE devices. The port for these drives should be labeled IDE 1 and 2 or main IDE and secondary. I don't know which for your particular board. It should be fairly easy to find, because the ports are quite wide *24 pin connector i think, but don't quote me on that*

If that doesn't help, then wait for one of the experts to answer your question cause I'm really new to this whole thing myself.


good luck,

The optical drive will either be IDE (long plug often with a ribbon cable) or SATA (small black plug and a red cable)

If the drive is SATA it plugs into where your Harddrives are plugged into, if it is IDE it plugs into a long Blue slot on your motherboard as Illustrated in the picture below.
