2. HARDWARE SETUP
8) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1pin IDE)
These connectors support the IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the
cable’s blue connector to the motherboard’s primary (recommended) or
secondary IDE connector, and then connect the gray connector to your
UltraDMA/100 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector
to your UltraDMA/100 master device. It is recommended that non-
UltraDMA/100 devices be connected to the secondary IDE connector.
If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to
Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Please refer to your hard
disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS now supports specific
device bootup (see 4.6 Boot Menu). (Pin 20 is removed to prevent
inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with
pin 20 plugged).
TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two
ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the
secondary IDE connector. You may install one operating system on an
IDE drive and another on a SCSI drive and select the boot disk through
4.6 Boot Menu.
IMPORTANT: UltraDMA/100 IDE devices must use a 40-pin 80-conductor IDE
cable for 100MByte/sec transfer rates.
