K8S755A Series User Manual
HDD connectors: PIDE & SIDE
These connectors support the provided UltraDMA133/100/66 IDE hard disk rib-
bon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended)
or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the Ultra DMA133/
100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the Ultra DMA133/
100/66 master device. If you install two hard disks, 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.
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/SIDE or
FLOPPY connector on the motherboard.
