These connectors are for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cables. The
Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cable has three connectors: a blue
connector for the primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black
connector for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE slave device (optical
drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA
133/100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you install two hard
disk drives, 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.

Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion
when you connect the IDE cable.
Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE
devices.

NOTE: Orient the red markings
(usually zigzag) on the IDE
ribbon cable to PIN 1.
