2. IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_IDE)
The onboard IDE connector is for Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cable. There
are three connectors on each Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cable: blue, black,
and gray. Connect the blue connector to the motherboard’s IDE connector,
then select one of the following modes to congure your device(s).
Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the
Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when you
connect the IDE cable.
Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 100/66/33 IDE devices.
If any device jumper is set as “Cable-Select”, ensure that all other device
jumpers have the same setting.
