IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE)
The onboard IDE connectors are for Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cable(s).

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 configure 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”, make sure all other device

jumpers have the same setting.
