2-18 Chapter 2
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.
For KD7-RAID:
IDE3 and IDE4 are extra devices controlled by a HighPoint HPT372 chipset. This
bonus feature allows for having regular Ultra ATA/133 devices ports, or a RAID array in the combination
of RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 0+1 mode.
Note:
The red line on the ribbon cable should be aligned with pin 1 on this connector.
