6 Connecting the IDE Drives

NOTE

If the cable select option is enabled on your IDE drive, the primary drive

must be connected to the black connector on the IDE cable.

The Intel

boxed desktop board package includes one IDE cable. The cable can

connect two drives to the desktop board. The cable supports the Ultra DMA-33

(40-contact) and ATA-66/100 (40-contact, 80-conductor) transfer protocols and

is backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols.

For the cable to function correctly:

Attach the cable end with the single connector (A), which is blue and

labeled P1, to the desktop board.

Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (B), which are

gray (for secondary drive) and black (for primary drive) and are labeled

P2 and P3, to the drives.
