12 Attaching IDE Hard Drives with the Ultra
ATA-66/100 Cable
®
The Intel boxed board package includes a 40-contact, 80-conductor IDE cable.
It is capable of connecting two drives to the board. The cable supports the Ultra
ATA-66/100 transfer protocol and is backward compatible with drives using
slower IDE transfer protocols.
The cable will work correctly only when oriented as shown in the figure below.
For correct cable function:
1 Attach the cable end with the single connector (A) to the board.
2 Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (B) to the
drives.
