3. HARDWARE SETUP 11) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors (Two 40-1pin IDE) These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the cable's blue connector to the motherboard's primary (recommended) or secondary IDE connector, and then connect the gray connector to your UltraATA/100 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to your UltraATA/100 master device. It is recommended that non-UltraATA/100 devices be connected to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Please refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS now supports specific device bootup (see 4.6 Boot Menu). (Pin 20 is removed to prevent inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 20 plugged). TIP: You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon cables - one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE connector. You may install one operating system on an IDE drive and another on a SCSI drive and select the boot disk through 4.6 Boot Menu. IMPORTANT: UltraDMA/100 IDE devices must use a 40-pin 80-conductor IDE cable for 100MByte/sec transfer rates.

11) Primary (Blue) / Secondary IDE Connectors
(Two 40-1pin IDE)
These connectors support the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. Connect the
cable’s blue connector to the motherboard’s primary (recommended) or second-
ary IDE connector, and then connect the gray connector to your UltraATA/100
slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to your UltraATA/100
master device. It is recommended that non-UltraATA/100 devices be connected
to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must config-
ure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Please
refer to your hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS now sup-
ports specific device bootup (see
4.6 Boot Menu
).
(Pin 20 is removed to pre-
vent inserting in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin
20 plugged).
TIP:
You may configure two hard disks to be both Masters with two ribbon
cables – one for the primary IDE connector and another for the secondary IDE
connector. You may install one operating system on an IDE drive and another on
a SCSI drive and select the boot disk through
4.6 Boot Menu
.
IMPORTANT:
UltraDMA/100 IDE devices must use a 40-pin 80-conductor IDE
cable for 100MByte/sec transfer rates.
