Hardware Installation

IDE Disk Drive Connector (Master Mode Only)

The system board is equipped with a shrouded PCI IDE header
that will interface an Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) disk
drive. To prevent improper IDE cable installation, the shrouded PCI
IDE header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the
IDE cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connec-
tor is aligned with pin 1 of the header.

The IDE connector supports 1 IDE device that must be set in Mas-
ter mode. Use an IDE ribbon cable to connect the drive to the
system board.

Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable

Plug one end of the IDE ribbon cable into the IDE connector (J15)
on the system board and the other end-most connector to the IDE
device.

Note:
Refer to your disk drive user’s manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
