Troubleshooting
Problem:
The following warning appears in the Ultra66 BIOS: “[WARNING]
BECAUSE OF 40-CONDUCTOR CABLE(S) USED, Dx WOULD BE
DOWN TO ULTRA33 MODE. PLEASE USE 80-CONDUCTOR CABLE(S)
IF ULTRA66 WANTED”.
Solution:
A 40-wire, 40-pin IDE cable is being used with an Ultra-ATA/66 capable
hard drive in the Ultra66 hard drive setup. To access Ultra66 timing (and
take advantage of the full capabilities of your Ultra-ATA/66 hard drive),
you must use an 80-wire, 40-pin IDE cable. One 80-wire, 40-pin cable is
included with the Ultra66 package; if you wish to connect a second
Ultra-ATA/66 hard drive to the Ultra66 controller card, you must pur-
chase another 80-wire, 40-pin cable. The colored edge of the cable(s)
indicates pin 1 (see Figure 1.1), and the blue cable connector must be
attached to the Ultra66 connector.
Problem:
Determining hard drive performance.
Solution:
During the Ultra66 BIOS, the maximum transfer rate timing of the hard
drive(s) connected to the Ultra66 controller card will be displayed next
to the model name of the hard drive. Example: “D0 QUANTUM FIRE-
BALL CR8.4A LBA 8056MB ULTRA DMA 4.” “D0” identifies drive 0
(master drive on the primary IDE port on the Ultra66 controller card);
“QUANTUM FIREBALL CR8.4A” represents the model name/number;
“LBA” signifies that the drive size is being translated so that the system
can make use of the drive’s full capacity; “8056MB” represents the
