IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_IDE)
The onboard IDE connector is for the Ultra DMA 133/100 signal cable. There are three

connectors on each Ultra DMA 133/100 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.

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 IDE devices.

If any device jumper is set as “Cable-Select”, ensure that all other device jumpers have the

same setting.
