Note:

The IDE cable with a standard 40-pin connector (without the keying

mechanism) can be installed in the PCI IDE shrouded header. Be ex-

tremely careful to match the colored edge of the ribbon with pin 1 of the

header.

2. Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s).

Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin 1

of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most connector should be

attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.

IDE Hard Disk Interface

The G586IPC system board is equipped with two PCI IDE shrouded

headers that will interface up to four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)

hard disk drives.

Note:

Only IDE hard drives or ATAPI CD-ROMs can be connected to the IDE

interface.

Connecting the IDE Hard Disk Interface

To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each PCI IDE shrouded

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 connector is

aligned with pin 1 of the header.
