Your devices (DVD, CD) may be IDE or EIDE, and I can't see in the specs where it supports these drives. You might need to get an adapter that will plug into one of the PCI slots to support these drives.

Yes man , did u use to have cd rom b4 installing the new motherboard, if yes then there you need to open the system unit and then the data cable connecting to the motheboard to the hard disk it has a spare socket over there, you just need to plug that socket in the cd/ dvd drive and then the power socket in the cd/drive as it is connected to the hard disk.

From looking at the manual, it's the green coloured IDE/ATAPI connector at the front of the board (next to the motherboard power connector). (From the link you've given, the photograph shows it at the rear.)
