2. Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s). Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin 1 of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most

connector should be attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.

2.7.5 IDE Disk Drive Connector

The system board is equipped with two shrouded PCI IDE headers that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) disk drives. To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each shrouded PCI IDE header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header.

Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable

1. If you are connecting two IDE disk drives, install the 40-pin connector of the IDE cable into the primary shrouded IDE header (J10). If you are adding a third or fourth IDE device, install the 40- pin connector of the other IDE cable into the secondar y shrouded IDE header (J9).

2. Install the other 40-pin header connector(s) into the device with the colored edge of the ribbon

cable aligned with pin 1 of the drive edge connector(s).
