Connecting the IDE Cable
The IDE cable can connect two drives to the desktop board.
The cable supports the ATA-66/100
transfer protocol.
Figure 16 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.
