Which Data Connectors to Use

Before Installing an IDE Hard Disk

There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE devices.

•An Enhanced Ultra ATA IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drive cable.

For optimum performance, use this cable to connect the Ultra ATA IDE hard disk drive.

•A second IDE drive cable that supports two IDE devices. If you install a CD-ROM drive, a DVD drive or a Zip drive, connect it to this cable.

•The third cable is non-IDE and has one connector for a floppy drive.

Up to three IDE devices can be connected to the system board using the IDE data cables.

Refer to the drive’s installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a special installation procedure to follow.
