1. IDE connector (40-1 pin IDE1)
This connector is for an Ultra DMA 100/66 signal cable. The Ultra DMA
100/66 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the
primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an
Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and
a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE master device (hard disk
drive). If you install two hard disk drives, 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.
• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on
the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when
you connect the IDE cable.
• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE devices.
