10) Primary (Blue) / Secondary (Black) IDE Connectors
(40-1 pin PRI_IDE and SEC_IDE)
The Primary and Secondary IDE connectors support the IDE hard disk ribbon
cables supplied with the motherboard. Connect the cable’s blue connector
to the motherboard’s primary IDE connector (recommended) or the secondary
IDE connector. Connect the opposite end of the cable to your UltraDMA100/
66 device (hard disk drive). If a second hard disk drive is connected,
youmay reset its jumper to Slave or Master/Slave mode. Non-UltraDMA100/
66 devices should be connected to the secondary IDE connector. BIOS
supports specific device bootup (see 4.6 Boot Menu.) UltraDMA100 is
backward compatible with DMA66/33 and with all with existing DMA devices
and systems.
IMPORTANT! UltraDMA100 IDE devices require a 40-pin 80-conductor
cable.
