K8V-MX Digital audio connector

SPDIFOUT GND

SPDIF_OUT

3. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)

These connectors support the provided Ultra ATA/133 IDE hard disk ribbon

cable. Connect the cableʼs blue connector to the primary (recommended) or

secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the Ultra ATA/133

slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the Ultra ATA/133

master device. Connecting non-Ultra ATA/133 devices to the secondary IDE

connector is recommended.

4. Digital audio connector (3- pin SPDIF)

This connector is for the S/PDIF audio module that allows digital sound input.

• Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on

the Ultra ATA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you

connect the cables.

• For Ultra ATA/133 IDE devices, use an 80-conductor IDE cable.
• The hole near the blue connector on the Ultra ATA/133 cable is intentional.

• Use 75 ohm impedance matched coaxial cables for your S/PDIF connection.
• The S/PDIF module is purchased separately.

(usually zigzag) on the IDE

ribbon cable to PIN 1.
