Cabling the Device

The IDE Cable

Depending on your configuration, your system may come with two three-connector
IDE interface cables, one joining your hard disk drive to the primary IDE connector on
the system board, the other joining your CD or DVD-ROM drive to the secondary IDE
connector on the system board.
Each IDE connector on the motherboard supports two devices.
The addition of a device to an IDE connector does not require the replacement of the
existing IDE cable.
The following figure shows a typical three-connector IDE cable. If the IDE cable is not
keyed with a connector tab, align the coloured edge (Pin 1) of the cable with the pin 1
side of the drive connector.
A - Connects to the motherboard IDE port
B - Red edge (Pin 1)
C - Connects to IDE devices
