Installing the Motherboard
*The motherboard and system BIOS (or an add-in controller) must support Ultra ATA/66.
*The operating system must support Direct Memory Access (DMA); Microsoft Windows
98 and Windows 95b (OSR2) support DMA.
*The cable must be 80-conductor; the length should not exceed 18 inches. If all the above
requirements are met, you can enjoy the Ultra ATA/66 features of your computer system.
How to install the Ultra ATA/66 Cable Assembly:
! The BLUE connector MUST be plugged into the motherboard or your system will not
work.
! Each connector on the Ultra ATA/66 cable assembly has a small polarization tab centrally
located on the body of the plastic. This fits into the matching slot on the mating plugs on
the motherboard and the drives, thus assuring positive mating (pin #1 to pin #1)
! The red line on the cable should be aligned with pin #1. On the drives this will result in the
red line facing the power connector. Attach the BLUE connector to the appropriate 40 pin
IDE plug on the motherboard.
! Attach the BLACK connector to the mating plug on the master hard drive. Attach the
GREY connector to the mating plug on the slave drive (secondary hard drive, CD-ROM,
or tape drive). Please refer figure 2-12.
Figure 2-13 shows the WB6 back panel connectors, these connectors are for connections to
outside devices to the motherboard. We will describe which devices will attach to these
connectors below.
