Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components Connecting the IDE Cable The Intel® boxed desktop board package includes an IDE cable. The cable connects two drives to the Intel desktop board. The cable supports ATA-66 and ATA-100 transfer protocols and is backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. Figure 8 shows the correct installation of the cable. ✏ NOTE ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. 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. ✏ NOTE Do not connect an ATA device as a slave on the same IDE cable as an ATAPI master device. For example, do not connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to an ATAPI CD-ROM drive. For correct function of the cable: • Attach the cable end with the single connector to the Intel desktop board (see Figure 8, A). • Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors to the drives (see Figure 8, B).

Connecting the IDE Cable
The Intel
®
boxed desktop board package includes an IDE cable.
The cable connects two drives to
the Intel desktop board.
The cable supports ATA-66 and ATA-100 transfer protocols and is
backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols.
Figure 8 shows the correct
installation of the cable.
✏
NOTE
ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer
protocols.
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.
✏
NOTE
Do not connect an ATA device as a slave on the same IDE cable as an ATAPI master device.
For
example, do not connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to an ATAPI CD-ROM drive.
For correct function of the cable:
•
Attach the cable end with the single connector to the Intel desktop board (see Figure 8, A).
•
Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors to the drives (see Figure 8, B).
