1.10 Connectors

This section describes and illustrates the connectors on the motherboard.
Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing
jumper caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your
motherboard.
1. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRIMARY IDE/SECONDARY IDE)
This connector supports the provided UltraDMA133/100/66 IDE hard
disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable's blue connector to the primary
(recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray
connector to the UltraDMA133/100/66 slave device (hard disk drive)
and the black connector to the UltraDMA133/100/66 master device. It
is recommended that you connect non-UltraDMA133/100/66 devices
to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, 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. BIOS supports specific device bootup. If you have
more than two UltraDMA133/100/66 devices, purchase another
UltraDMA133/100/66 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be
both master devices with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE
connector and another for the secondary IDE connector.

Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the
covered hole on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents
incorrect orientation when you connect the cables.
The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA/100/66
cable is intentional.

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