8) IDE Connectors
(40-1 pin PRIMARY / SECONDARY IDE)
These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable.
After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs at the other
end to your hard disk(s). 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. (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 and select the boot disk through the BIOS.

(40-1 pin THIRD / FOURTH IDE) (only on CUBX-E)
Connect the 40-pin 80-conductor cable’s blue connector to the motherboard’s
primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, and then connect the cor-
responding gray connector to your UltraDMA/100 / UltraDMA/66 slave device
(hard disk drive) and the black connector to your UltraDMA/100 / UltraDMA/
66 master device. It is recommended that non-UltraDMA/100 / Ultra/66 devices
be connected to the secondary IDE connector.

NOTES: UltraDMA/100 is backward compatible with DMA/66, DMA/33, and
DMA and with existing DMA devices and systems so there is no need to upgrade
current EIDE/IDE drives and host systems.
If you have more than two UltraDMA/100 / UltraDMA/66 devices, you will
need to purchase another UltraDMA/100 / UltraDMA/66 cable.
The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA/100 / UltraDMA/66 cable is
intentional.
IMPORTANT: UltraDMA/66 and UltraDMA/100 IDE devices require a 40-pin
80-conductor cable to be enabled.
