Connecting the IDE Cable

The Intel® boxed desktop board package includes an IDE cable. The cable connects two drives to the desktop board. The cable supports the Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 transfer protocols. Figure 10 shows the correct installation of the cable.

✏NOTE

ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.
