Figure Section 3-17 Optional Diskette Drive Signal Cable
IDE Signal Cables
Hard disk systems come with a three-connector IDE interface cable attached to the primary
IDE connector. Multimedia systems come with a second IDE cable connected to the CD-
ROM reader and to the secondary IDE connector.
Each IDE connector on the system board supports two IDE devices. The addition of an IDE
device to an IDE connector does not require the replacement of the existing IDE signal
cable.
If installing an optional IDE CD-ROM reader, connect it to the secondary IDE connector.
The primary (fast) IDE port should be reserved for hard disks.
