Connecting the IDE Cable

The IDE cable can be used to connect two drives to the desktop board. The cable supports the ATA-66/100 transfer protocol. Figure 22 shows the correct installation of the cable.

NOTE

ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.

For correct function of the cable:

1.Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 25.

2.Attach the cable end with the single connector to the desktop board (Figure 22, A).

3.Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors to the drives (Figure 22, B).
