Hardware Installation
IDE Disk Drive Connectors
The 40-pin IDE connector is used to connect hard drives. The IDE
cable can be inserted into the IDE connector only if pin 1 of the
cable connector is aligned with pin 1 of the IDE connector.
The IDE connector supports 2 devices, a Master and a Slave. Use
an IDE ribbon cable to connect the drives to the system board. An
IDE ribbon cable have 3 connectors on them, one that plugs into an
IDE connector on the system board and the other 2 connects to
IDE devices. The connector at the end of the cable is for the Master
drive and the connector in the middle of the cable is for the Slave
drive.
Note:
We do not recommend using IDE devices and CF card at the
same time.
