2 . Primary/Secondary IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)

The onboard IDE connectors are for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cables. There are three connectors on each Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cable: blue, black, and gray. Connect the blue connector to the motherboard’s IDE connector, and then select one of the following modes to configure your device.

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

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

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

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

3.The hole near the blue connector on the UltraATA cable is intentional.
