1.10.2 Internal connectors

This section describes and illustrates the internal connectors on the

motherboard.

1. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)

This connector supports the provided UltraATA133 IDE hard disk ribbon

cable. Connect the cableʼs blue connector to the primary (recommended) or

secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the UltraATA133

slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraATA133

master device.

Note:

Orient the red markings

(usually zigzag) on the IDE

ribbon cable to PIN 1.

ribbon cable to PIN 1.

PRI_IDE

PIN 1

SEC_IDE

PIN 1

Follow the hard disk drive documentation when setting the device

in master or slave mode.

Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole

on the UltraATA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation

when you connect the cables.

3. The hole near the blue connector on the UltraATA cable is intentional.
