Intel Desktop Board D975XBX2 Product Guide Connecting the IDE Cable The IDE cable can be used to connect two drives to the desktop board. The cable supports the ATA-66/100 transfer protocol. Figure 22 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. For correct function of the cable: 1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 25. 2. Attach the cable end with the single connector to the desktop board (Figure 22, A). 3. Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors to the drives (Figure 22, B). Figure 22. Connecting the IDE Cable 42

Connecting the IDE Cable
The IDE cable can be used to connect two drives to the desktop board.
The cable
supports the ATA-66/100 transfer protocol.
Figure 22 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.
For correct function of the cable:
1.
Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 25.
2.
Attach the cable end with the single connector to the desktop board (Figure 22, A).
3.
Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors to the drives
(Figure 22, B).
