The following figure shows a three-connector diskette drive
signal cable.
IDE Signal Cables
Hard disk systems come with a three-connector IDE
interface cable attached to the primary IDE connector.
Multimedia systems come with a second IDE cable
connected to the CD-ROM reader and to the secondary IDE
connector.
Each IDE connector on the system board supports two IDE
devices. The addition of an IDE device to an IDE connector
does not require the replacement of the existing IDE signal
cable.
If installing an optional IDE CD-ROM reader, connect it to
the secondary IDE connector. The primary IDE port should
be reserved for hard disks.
