3.9.2 Internal Connectors

1. Primary (Blue)/Secondary IDE Connectors (40-1pin IDE1/IDE2)
These connectors support the provided UltraDMA/66/33 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 UltraDMA/66/33 slave device
(hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA/66/33
master device. It is recommended that non-UltraDMA/66/33
devices be connected 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 (see 5.6 Boot Menu). If you have more
than two UltraDMA/66/33 devices, purchase another UltraDMA/
66/33 cable.
NOTES:
1. Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the
covered hole on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents
incorrect orientation when you connect the cables.
2. The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA/66 cable
is intentional.
TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two
ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for
the secondary IDE connector.
IMPORTANT
Use only 40-pin 80-conductor IDE cables for UltraDMA/66 IDE
devices.
