IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)

These connectors are for Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cables. The

Ultra DMA 100/66/33 signal cable has three connectors: a blue

connector for the primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black

connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66/33 IDE slave device (optical drive/

hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66/33 IDE

master device (hard disk drive). If you install an optical drive and an IDE

HDD, you must configure the optical drive as a slave device by setting

its jumper accordingly. Refer to the optical drive or HDD 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 100/66/33 IDE

devices.
