IDE Connectors

There are two IDE connectors (one
blue and one white) on the serverboard.
IDE#1 (blue) is designated as the Pri-
mary IDE drive. The white connector is
designated as the Secondary IDE drive
and is reserved for Compact Flash Card
use only. (See the note below.) See the

table on the right for pin definitions.

Note

: The white slot is reserved for

Compact Flash Cards only. Do not use
it for other devices. If populated with a
Compact  Flash  Card,  IDE#1  (the  blue
slot)  will  be  available  for  one  device
only.  For  the  Compact  Flash  Card  to
work properly, you will need to connect

a power cable to JWF1 first.
