This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After
connecting one end to the motherboard, connect the other end to the
floppy drive. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent incorrect insertion when using
ribbon cables with pin 5 plug).

NOTE: Orient the red markings on
the floppy ribbon cable to PIN 1.

This connector supports the provided UltraDMA100/66 IDE hard disk
ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the IDE connector,
then connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA100/66 slave device
(hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA100/66 master
device.

Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation
when you connect the cables.

The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA100/66 cable is
intentional.

NOTE: Orient the red markings
(usually zigzag) on the IDE
ribbon cable to PIN 1.
