Connecting the IDE Hard Disk Interface
To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each PCI IDE
shrouded header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin
connector on the IDE cable can be placed into the header
only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the
header.
PCI IDE Shrouded Header
Step 1
If you are connecting two hard drives, install the 40-pin
connector of the IDE cable into the primary IDE shrouded
header (Connector J12). If you are adding a third or fourth
IDE device, install the 40-pin connector of the other IDE
cable into the secondary IDE shrouded header (Connector
J13).
Step 2
Install the other 40-pin header connector(s) into the device
with the colored edge of the ribbon cable aligned with pin 1
of the drive edge connector(s).
Note:
Refer to your disk drive user's manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
