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

These connectors are for Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 signal cables.

The Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 signal cable has three connectors: a

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

black connector for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE slave device

(optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra

DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you

install two hard disk drives, you must conﬁgure the second drive as a

slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk

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 133/100/66/33

IDE devices.
