Connecting ATA Disk Drives to the Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A
Card
Connect all hard disk drives to the Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A card
using the 40-pin ATA/100 cables included in your kit. The
ATA/100 cables have the following color-coded connectors:
Blue—Connects to the controller
Black—Connects to the master or single drive
Gray—Connects to the slave or second drive.
Note: Although the master/slave configuration is
determined by the jumper settings on your hard disk drives,
Adaptec recommends you use this color-coded
configuration for the cable. See
