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

(usually zigzag) on the IDE

• 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 133/100/66 IDE devices.

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

jumpers have the same setting.
