Connecting the IDE Cable

The IDE cable can be used to connect two IDE drives to the Desktop Board. The cable supports the ATA-66/100 transfer protocol. Figure 21 shows the correct installation of the cable.

NOTES

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.

Do not connect an ATA device as a slave on the same IDE cable as an ATAPI master device. For example, do not connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to an ATAPI CD-ROM drive.

For correct function of the cable:

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

•Attach the cable end with the single connector (blue) to the Intel Desktop Board (Figure 21, A).

•Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (gray and black) to the drives (Figure 21, B).
