P5E IDE connector

NOTE: Orient the red markings

(usually zigzag) on the IDE

cable to PIN 1.

PRI_EIDE

2. IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_EIDE)

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,” make sure all other device

jumpers have the same setting.
