Connecting The Ide Drives - Intel S815EBM1 - Server Board Motherboard Quick Start Manual

Connecting the IDE Drives

®
The Intel boxed server board package includes a 40-contact or 80-conductor
IDE cable. It is capable of connecting two drives to the server board. The cable
supports the Ultra UDMA-33and Ultra ATA-66/100 transfer protocols and is
backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols.
For the cable to function correctly, you must do the following:
1 Attach the cable end with the single connector (A), which is blue and
labeled P1, to the server board.
2
Attach the cable end with the two closely-spaced connectors (B), to the
drives. The connectors are gray and black and are labeled P2 and P3.
3
If only installing one drive, only the end connector of the two
closely-spaced connectors should be attached to the drive (i.e. the one
labeled P3).
