2.7 Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1-pin IDE)
This motherboard supports two 40-1-pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 (primary channel) and
IDE2 (secondary channel). Each channel supports two IDE devices, making a total of four devices.
Connect your Hard Disk (the main one if you are using more than one) to the Master connector
(at the end of the cable) and connect it to the IDE1 (see important note below). If your HDD
supports Ultra DMA 66, you must use an 80-wire cable, otherwise the HDD wont be able to
reach this speed.
If you intend to operate two IDE devices from the same channel, one device must be set to
master mode, the other to slave mode. A Hard Disk, CD ROM or other IDE devices can have
either setting, depending on devices jumper. Please refer to the devices manual for more
information.
NOTE: The Connectors must be attached to the IDE channels the right way round.
Make sure that the red stripe on one edge of the ribbon cable (this may be faint ) is the
nearest to PIN 1 (on the left as the motherboard is shown in the picture below).
