Attaching Ide Drives - Intel D845GLVA Quick Reference

5 Attaching IDE Drives

®
The Intel boxed desktop board package includes an IDE cable. The cable can
connect two drives to the desktop board. The cable supports the ATA-66/100
(40-contact, 80-conductor) transfer protocol and is backward compatible with
drives using slower IDE transfer protocols.
The cable will work correctly only when oriented as shown in Figure 5. For
correct cable function:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 3.
2. Attach the cable end with the single blue connector (A) to the desktop
board.
3. Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced black and gray connectors
(B) to the drives.
