2. IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_EIDE1)

This connector is for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cable. 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 133/100/66 IDE devices.

If any device jumper is set as “Cable-Select,” ensure that all other device

jumpers have the same setting.
