Ide3 And Ide4: Ata/66 Connectors - Abit BE6-II User Manual

Installing the Motherboard
The second HDD is referred to as the "Slave".
For performance issues, we strongly suggest you don't install a CD-ROM drive on the
same IDE channel as a hard disk. Otherwise, the system performance on this channel may
drop. (how much depends on your CD-ROM drive performance)
!The Master or Slave status of the hard disk drive is set on the hard disk itself. Please
refer to the hard disk drive user's manual.
!A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1. You need to align the
wire pin 1 to the IDE1 (or IDE2) connector pin 1, then insert the wire connector into
the IDE1(or IDE 2) connector.

IDE3 and IDE4: ATA/66 Connectors

2-8 shows you the different between the Ultra ATA/33 and Ultra ATA/66 Conductor Cable.
HPT 366 IDE controller is designed to support high-speed mass storage. Thus we don't
suggest you connect non-disk devices that use ATA/ATAPI interfaces, such as CD-ROM
to HPT 366 IDE connector (IDE3&IDE4).
Note
The BE6-II supports the Ultra ATA/66 (Also
known as Ultra DMA/66) specification. It
enhances existing Ultra ATA/33 technology
by increasing both performance and data
integrity. This new high-speed interface
doubles the Ultra ATA/33 burst data transfer
rate to 66.6 Mbytes/sec. The result is
maximum disc performance using the
current PCI local bus environment. Figure
