1.10.2 Internal connectors

1.Primary IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_IDE)

This connector is for an Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cable. The Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66/33 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66/33 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you install two hard disk drives, 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.

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

•Use an 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 100/66/33 IDE devices.
