6. I DE connector (40-1 pi n PRI _I DE)

This connector is for an Ultra DMA 100/66 signal cable. The Ultra DMA 100/66 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 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

NOTE: Orient the red markings (usually zigzag) on the IDE ribbon cable to PIN 1.
