5. Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1 pin IDE1 & IDE2)
These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable.
After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs at the other
end to your hard disk(s). If you install two hard disks on one connector (chan-
nel), then you must configure a second drive as Slave mode by setting its jumper
according to your hard disk jumper diagram. You may also configure two hard
disks to be both Masters using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE connector
and another on the secondary IDE connector. A new BIOS feature allows SCSI
hard drive bootup (see “HDD Sequence SCSI/IDE First” in the BIOS FEA-
TURES SETUP of the BIOS software). (Pin 20 is removed to prevent insert-
ing in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged).

ary IDE connectors will cause the HD LED to light.
