(12). IDE Connectors 

     

 

This motherboard provides two IDE ports 
to connect up to four IDE drives at Ultra 
ATA/100 mode by Ultra ATA/66 ribbon 
cables. Each cable has 40-pin 80-conductor 
and three connectors, providing two hard 
drives connection with motherboard. 
Connect the single end (blue connector) at 
the longer length of ribbon cable to the IDE 
port on motherboard, and the other two 
ends (gray and black connector) at the 
shorter length of the ribbon cable to the 
connectors on hard drives. 

If you want to connect two hard drives together through one IDE channel, you must configure the second 
drive to Slave mode after the first Master drive. Please refer to the drives’ documentation for jumper 
settings. The first drive connected to IDE1 is usually referred to as “Primary Master”, and the second 
drive as “Primary Slave”. The first drive connected to IDE2 is referred to as “Secondary Master” and the 
second drive as “Secondary Slave”. 

Keep away from connecting one legacy slow speed drive, like CD-ROM, together with another hard drive 
on the same IDE channel; this will drop your integral system performance.
