Connecting the IDE Drives The Intel® boxed server board package includes a 40-contact or 80-conductor IDE cable. It is capable of connecting two drives to the server board. The cable supports the Ultra UDMA-33and Ultra ATA-66/100 transfer protocols and is backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. For the cable to function correctly, you must do the following: 1 Attach the cable end with the single connector (A), which is blue and labeled P1, to the server board. 2 Attach the cable end with the two closely-spaced connectors (B), to the drives. The connectors are gray and black and are labeled P2 and P3. 3 If only installing one drive, only the end connector of the two closely-spaced connectors should be attached to the drive (i.e. the one labeled P3).
