Correct Order for Attaching the Drives
Each of the standard length ATA-100/133 cables has a connector at each end for a master
IDE device and another connector for a slave device. The following bullets explain how
to properly connect one, two, three, or four IDE drives:
•
One IDE drive: Attach it to the master connector on the cable for the primary IDE
channel.
•
Two IDE drives: Attach them to the master connectors on the two ATA-100/133
cables.
The following bullets apply only to the standard-length ATA 100/133 cable with two
drive connectors:
•
Three IDE drives: Attach them to the master and slave connectors on the cable for
the primary IDE channel and the master connector on the cable for the secondary
connector.
•
Four IDE drives: Attach them to the master and slave connectors on both ATA-
100/133 cables.
The following table displays the order in which you should connect the drives to the
RAID controller (as described above).

Note: You have the option of setting a jumper to Cable Select (CS) and letting the ATA-100/33
cable set the address.
Cable Suggestions System throughput problems and malfunctioning can occur if proper IDE cables are not
used. We recommend that you use 80-conductor, 40-pin Ultra ATA-100 or ATA-133
cables for all drives.
Note: Do not attach ATAPI drives to the IBM ATA 133 RAID controller. The controller does
not support ATAPI devices, such as CD-ROM, SL120, and Zip drives. Connect only hard
drives to the RAID controller and connect ATAPI devices to the IDE channels on the
motherboard or to any other off-board IDE/ATAPI adapters.
