Header
Note:
An IDE cable with a standard 40-pin connector (without the
keying mechanism) can be installed in the shrouded IDE header.
Be extremely careful to match the colored edge of the ribbon
with pin 1 of the header.
Connecting the Hard Disk Cable
1. If you are connecting two hard
drives, install the 40-pin connector
of the IDE cable into the primary
shrouded IDE header (connector
J16). If you are adding a third or
fourth IDE device, install the 40-
pin connector of the other IDE
cable into the secondary
shrouded IDE header (connector
J15).
2. Install the other 40-pin header
connector(s) into the device with the colored edge of the
ribbon cable aligned with pin 1 of the drive edge connector(s).
Note:
Refer to your disk drive user’s manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
Connecting the IDE Hard Disk Interface
To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each shrouded PCI IDE
header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE
cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector
is aligned with pin 1 of the header.
