1.10.2 Internal connectors
1. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)
This connector supports the provided Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE hard disk ribbon
cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or
secondary IDE connector, then connect the black connector to the Ultra DMA
100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the Ultra DMA
100/66 master device.
2. Floppy disk drive connector (34-1 pin FLOPPY)
This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After
connecting one end to the motherboard, connect the other end to the floppy
drive. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent incorrect insertion when using ribbon cables
with pin 5 plug).
Follow the hard disk drive documentation when setting the device in master
or slave mode.
Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the
Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you
connect the cables.
The hole near the blue connector on the Ultra DMA cable is intentional.
