2. Attach one connector on the long end of the Ultra ATA
ribbon cable to the board's IDE connector and the other
connector(s) to your hard disk drive(s). Make sure pin 1 on
the cable (indicated by the colored stripe) matches pin 1 on
the board's IDE connector and your hard disk drive(s).
3. When two hard disk drives are installed on the same IDE
channel, make sure one drive is set up as Master and the
other as Slave. This rule applies to both IDE channels.
4. The Ultra ATA ribbon cable has two connectors. If you
install only one drive, connect it to the end connector of the
cable. On the other hand, if you install two drives, connect
the master drive to the end connector of the cable and the
slave drive in the middle connector.
