Connecting The Ide Cable - Intel S815EBM1 - Server Board Motherboard Product Manual

Connecting the IDE Cable

®
The Intel boxed server board package includes a 40-contact, 80-conductor IDE cable. It is
capable of connecting two drives to the server board. The cable supports Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra
ATA/100 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 black and labeled PRI IDE, to the
server board as shown in Figure 18.
•
Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (B), which are gray and black and
are labeled P2 and P3, to the drives.
•
If connecting only one IDE drive, be sure to connect the drive to the gray connector (P3).
