3. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)
These connectors are for a Ultra DMA 100/66 signal cable. The Ultra DMA 100/
66 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the primary IDE
connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE
slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra
DMA 100/66 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 100/66 IDE devices.
