NOTICE: You must match the colored strip on the data cable with pin 1 on the drive's interface connector to avoid

possible damage to your system.

NOTE: Ultra ATA/66 hard-disk drives require an 80-conductor cable to transfer data at full speed. The 80-conductor cable

has a 40-pin connector just like the Ultra ATA/33 cable but has twice as many wires within the cable itself. If you use an Ultra

ATA/33 cable with Ultra ATA/66 hard-disk drives, the drives will transfer data at Ultra ATA/33 speeds.
