3. IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_IDE)
The onboard IDE connector is for the Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cable. 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.

• 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,” ensure that all other device jumpers have the
same setting.
