Attaching IDE Drives

®
The Intel boxed desktop board package includes an ATA-66/100 cable.
The cable supports the ATA-66/100 (40-contact, 80-conductor) transfer protocol
and is backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols.
The cable can connect two drives to the desktop board.
The cable will work correctly only when oriented as in Figure 6. For correct
cable function:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 3.
2. Attach the cable end with the single connector (A) to the board.
3. Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (B) to the
drives.
