This connector is for the Ultra DMA 100 signal cable. The Ultra DMA
100 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the primary
IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra DMA
100 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray
connector for an Ultra DMA 100 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If
you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second drive as
a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk
documentation for the jumper settings.

•

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 IDE devices.
