10) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1pin IDE)

These connectors support the provided UltraDMA/100 IDE hard disk ribbon

cable. Connect the cable’s blue connector to the motherboard’s primary (rec-

ommended) or secondary IDE connector, and then connect the gray connector

to your UltraDMA/100 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to

your UltraDMA/100 master device. It is recommended that non-UltraDMA/100

devices be connected to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard

disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper

accordingly. Please refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper

settings. BIOS now supports specific device bootup (see the Advanced Menus).

(Pin 20 is removed to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using

ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged).

TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon

cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE

connector. You may install one operating system on an IDE drive and another on

a SCSI drive and select the boot disk through the Advanced Menus.

IMPORTANT: UltraDMA/100 IDE devices must use a 40-pin 80-conductor IDE

cable for 100MBytes/s transfer rates.
