3.IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_EIDE)

The onboard IDE connector is for the Ultra DMA 133/100 signal cable. There are three connectors on each Ultra DMA 133/100 signal cable: blue, black, and gray. Connect the blue connector to the motherboard’s IDE connector, then select one of the following modes to configure your device.

		Drive jumper setting	Mode of	Cable connector
			device(s)
Single device	Cable-Select or Master		-	Black
Two devices	Cable-Select		Master	Black
			Slave	Gray
	Master		Master	Black or gray
	Slave		Slave

• 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 the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 133/100 IDE devices.

If any device jumper is set as “Cable-Select,” make sure all other device jumpers have the same setting.
