Chapter 4: Motherboard info

2 IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE)

The onboard IDE connectors are for Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal

cable(s). There are three connectors on each Ultra DMA 100/66/33

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(s).

• 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 100/66/33 IDE

devices.

If any device jumper is set as “Cable-Select”, make sure all other device

jumpers have the same setting.
