2.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.
