2. Primary IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)
These connectors are for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cables.
The Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cable has three connectors: a
blue connector for the primary IDE connector on the motherboard,
a black connector for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE slave device
(optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra
DMA 133/100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you install
two hard disk drives, 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.
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 IDE devices.
