3. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)
This connector supports the provided UltraDMA133/100 IDE ribbon cable.
Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or secondary
IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA133/100 slave
device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA133/100 master
device. It is recommended that you connect non-UltraDMA133/100 devices to the
secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the
second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard
disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS supports specific device bootup.
If you have more than two UltraDMA133/100 devices, purchase another
UltraDMA133/100 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be both master
devices with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another
for the secondary IDE connector.
1. Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the
UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you
connect the cables.
2. The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA133/100/66 cable is
intentional.
3. For UltraDMA133/100/66 IDE devices, use the 80-conductor IDE cable.
