ASUS Terminator Barebone System 53
1. Primary (Blue)/Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1pin IDE1/IDE2)
These connectors support the provided UltraDMA/100/66/33 IDE
hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to
the primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then
connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA/100/66/33 slave
device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA/
100/66/33 master device. It is recommended that non-UltraDMA/
100/66/33 devices be connected to the secondary IDE connector.
If you install two hard disks, 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. BIOS supports
specific device bootup (see 5.6 Boot Menu). If you have more
than two UltraDMA/66/33 devices, purchase another UltraDMA/
100/66/33 cable.
NOTES:
1. Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the
covered hole on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents
incorrect orientation when you connect the cables.
2. The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA/66 cable
is intentional.
TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two
ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for
the secondary IDE connector.

devices.
