Connecting IDE Hard Disk Drives
The IDE connector supports Ultra ATA 133/100/66 IDE hard disk
drives.
1.
Connect the blue connector (the cable end with a single
connector) to the motherboard.
2.
Connect the black connector (the cable with the two closely spaced
black and gray connectors) to the Ultra ATA master device.
3.
Connect the gray connector to a slave device.
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.
Note:
If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer
protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between
the drives may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.
Connecting Serial ATA Cables
This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each
connector can connect to one Serial ATA device.
