3-2 Device Connection
The UltraATA100 PCI RAID is a dual channel Ultra ATA 100
controller that supports up to four IDE hard disk drives. To achieve
maximum performance and compatibility we suggest using
identical hard drives in building your RAID sets.
Note: Only the 40-pin/80-wire UltraATA 100 cable can achieve
hard disk UDMA 100 performance. When attaching only two hard
drives it is recommended that they be connected on separate IDE
channels.
1. If you plan to install two hard disk drives on the IDE1 channel,
make sure you configure one drive as Master and one drive as
Slave. Follow the hard drive manufacturer’s instructions for the
correct jumper setting. The same rule must be followed for
connecting hard disk drives to the IDE2 channel.
2. Attach one end of the included Ultra ATA/100 cable to the
IDE1 connector on the board. Make sure pin 1 on the cable
(indicated by the colored stripe) matches pin 1 on the IDE1
connector.
