Attach any 2 or 4 PIN LED cable to the IDE activity LED (J7) on the card
observing that the 1 printed on the card is the first PIN.

Attach the included USB loopback cable from an available USB connector on
your motherboard to the J5 connector on the EP-USB66.

Be sure to match the first PIN on both the drives and the controller.
IDE Drive Installation Special Notes
•
If using UltraDMA-66 drives you must use an 80-conductor / 40-pin ‘UltraDMA-
66’ IDE cable (1 included) to attach the drive to the controller card.
•
‘UltraDMA-66’ IDE cables are not required for UltraDMA-33 or older transfer
modes but may still be used with them. But this cable is required if newer
UltraDMA-66 and older drives on to be placed on the same controller port.
