Connecting One ATA Disk Drive on a Cable When you connect only one ATA disk drive to a cable, that disk drive must be set as a master drive. (See Setting Jumpers on ATA Disk Drives on page 7 for more information.) To connect one ATA drive to the ASH-1233 adapter: 1 Connect the IDE cable to an IDE connector on the ASH-1233 adapter (as shown below), being careful to match pin 1 of the cable to pin 1 of the connector. The cables and connectors are keyed. If the cable does not slide easily into the connector, do not force it. Instead, reverse the cable. Note: The stripe along the edge of the cable indicates Pin #1. If the cable does not slide easily into the connector, reverse the cable. 9
