This motherboard includes one Ultra DMA 100/66/33 IDE connector (PIDE) and
two Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE connectors(SIDE1, SIDE2). These connec-
tors support the provided Ultra DMA IDE ribbon cables. We suggest you con-
nect the cable’s blue connector to the IDE connector, then connect the black
connector to the master device and connect the grey connector to the slave
device. The two Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE connectors support IDE RAID
(You can reference the RAID MANUAL to install the IDE RAID).
Attention:
Ribbon cables are directional, therefore, make sure to always con-
nect with the cable on the same side as pin 1 of the PIDE/SIDE1/
SIDE2 or FDD connector on the motherboard.
