2.7.2 Internal connectors
1. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)
This connector supports the provided UltraDMA IDE hard disk ribbon
cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the primary
(recommended) or secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray
connector to the UltraDMA slave device (hard disk drive) and the black
connector to the UltraDMA master device.
• Follow the hard disk drive documentation when setting the device
in master or slave mode.
• Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation
when you connect the cables.
