ULTRA ATA/133 PCI RAID Card RC200		User Manual

In any given RAID set, it’s best to install the hard drives on separate channels, either Master to Master or Slave to Slave. For example, if you are setting up a RAID set with two hard drives, install the first drive on IDE1 as Master and the second on IDE2 as Master. Use the same concept for multiple hard drives.

Note: Only the 40-pin/80-wire UltraATA cable can achieve hard disk UDMA 133 performance. When attaching only two hard drives it is recommended that they be connected on separate IDE channels.

In order to achieve high-speed data transfer, a 40-pin/80-wire Ultra ATA ribbon cable is recommended. Also, do not mix Ultra ATA/133 hard disk with slow IDE or ATAPI devices on the same channel.

1.If you plan to install two hard disk drives on the IDE1 channel, make sure to configure one drive as Master and the drive as Slave. Follow the hard drive manufacturer’s instructions for the correct jumper setting. The same rule must be followed for connecting hard disk drives to the IDE2 channel.

2.Attach on end of the Ultra ATA cable to the IDE1 connector on the board. Make sure pin 1 on the cable (indicated by the stripe) matches pin 1 on the IDE1 connector.

3.Install the hard disk drive to your computer. Attach the end connector of the Ultra ATA cable to the end connector on the hard disk drive. Make certain that pin 1 on the cable(indicated by the stripe) matches pin 1 on the hard disk drive’s connector to IDE2

Note: The ribbon cable has two connectors. If you have one hard disk drive, connect it to the end connector of cable. If you have a second hard disk drive, connect it to the middle connector of cable.
