NOTE: Orient the red markings
(usually zigzag) on the IDE
ribbon cable to PIN 1.

SEC_IDE

9. Primary (Blue) / Secondary (Black) IDE Connectors

(Two 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 UltraDMA133/
100/66 device (hard disk drive). If a second hard disk drive is connected,
you may reset its jumper to Slave or Master/Slave mode. Non-UltraDMA133/
100/66 devices should be connected to the secondary IDE connector. BIOS
supports specific device bootup (see 4.6 Boot Menu.) UltraDMA/133 is
backward compatible with DMA100/66/33 and with all with existing DMA
devices and systems.

IMPORTANT!

UltraDMA100 and UltraDMA133 IDE devices require a

40-pin 80-conductor cable.
