4. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE1, SEC_IDE1)
This connector supports the provided UltraDMA100/66 IDE ribbon cable.
Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or
secondary 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. It is recommended that you connect
non-UltraDMA100/66 devices to the secondary IDE connector. If you
install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave
device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk
documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS supports specific device
bootup. If you have more than two UltraDMA100/66 devices, purchase
another UltraDMA100/66 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be
both master devices with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE
connector and another for the secondary IDE connector.
1.
Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the
UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you
connect the cables.
2.
The hole near theblue connector on the UltraDMA cable is intentional.
3.
For UltraDMA100/66 IDE devices, use the 80-conductor IDE cable.
