9) Primary / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1 pin IDE)
These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable.
After connecting the single end to the board, connect the two plugs at the other
end to your hard disk(s). If you install two hard disks, you must configure the
second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Please refer to
your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. (Pin 20 is removed to
prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with
pin 20 plugged).
TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon
cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE
connector and select the boot disk through Boot Sequence in 4.7 Boot Menu.
IMPORTANT: UltraDMA/66 IDE devices must use an 80-wire IDE cable
or else devices will automatically be limited to UltraDMA/33 mode.
