10) Primary (Blue) / Secondary (Black) IDE Connectors
(40-1 pin PRI_IDE1 and SEC_IDE1)
The Primary and Secondary IDE connectors support the IDE hard disk ribbon
cables supplied with the motherboard. Connect the cable's blue connector
to the motherboard's primary IDE connector (recommended) or the secondary
IDE connector. Connect the opposite end of the cable to your UltraDMA133/
100/66 device (hard disk drive). If a second hard disk drive is connected,
youmay reset its jumper to Slave or Master/Slave mode. Non-UltraDMA133/
100/66 devices should be connected to the secondary IDE connector. BIOS
supports specific device bootup (see 4.4.1 Advanced BIOS Features).
IMPORTANT!
cable and RAID arrays only operate with such cables.
