2-10 Floppy, SAS and SATA Drive Connections

Use the following information to connect the IDE hard disk drive cables.

A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.

The 80-wire ATA100/66 IDE hard disk drive cable that came with your system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable should be used to take advantage of the speed this new technology offers. The blue connector connects to the onboard IDE connector interface and the other connector(s) to your hard drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive for details on actual jumper locations and settings for the hard disk drive.

IDE Connectors

There are two IDE connectors (one blue and one white) on the serverboard. IDE#1 (blue) is designated as the Primary IDE drive. The white connector is designated as the Secondary IDE drive and is reserved for Compact Flash Card use only. (See the note below.) See the table on the right for pin definitions.

Note: The white slot is reserved for Compact Flash Cards only. Do not use it for other devices. If populated with a Compact Flash Card, IDE#1 (the blue slot) will be available for one device only. For the Compact Flash Card to work properly, you will first need to enable with JCF1 and connect a power cable to JWF1.
