1.10.2 Internal connectors

1.IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)

This connector supports the provided Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the Ultra DMA 100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the Ultra DMA 100/66 master device.

• Follow the hard disk drive documentation when setting the device in master or slave mode.

•Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you connect the cables.

•The hole near the blue connector on the Ultra DMA cable is intentional.
