11. IDE Connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE1 / SEC_IDE1)

This connector supports the provided UltraDMA133/100/66 IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the PRI_IDE1 (recommended) or to the SEC_IDE1 connector; then connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA133/100/66 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA133/100/66 master device. It is recommended that you connect non-UltraDMA133/100/66 devices to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS supports specific device bootup. If you have more than two UltraDMA133/100/66 devices, purchase another UltraDMA133/100/66 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be both master devices with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE connector.

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

2.The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA133/100/66 cable is intentional.

NOTE: Orient the red markings on the IDE ribbon cable to PIN 1

For UltraDMA133/100/66 IDE devices, use an 80-conductor IDE cable. The UltraDMA/66 cable included in the motherboard package also supports UltraDMA133.

Always connect ribbon cables with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side on floppy disk drives.
