Chapter 2: Hardware information

2. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)

This connector supports the provided UltraATA133/100/66 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 UltraATA133/100/66 slave device (hard disk drive)
and the black connector to the UltraATA133/100/66 master device. It is
recommended that you connect non-UltraATA133/100/66 devices 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. If you have more than
two UltraATA133/100/66 devices, purchase another UltraATA133/100/
66 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be both master devices
with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and
another for the secondary IDE connector.

For UltraATA133/100/66 IDE devices, use an 80-conductor IDE cable.
The UltraATA/66 cable included in the motherboard package also
supports UltraATA133 or UltraATA100.

•

Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered
hole on the UltraATA cable connector. This prevents incorrect
orientation when you connect the cables.

•

The hole near the blue connector on the UltraATA133/100/66 cable
is intentional.
