Connecting the IDE Cable
The Intel boxed board package includes a 40-contact, 80-conductor IDE cable. It is capable of
connecting two drives to the board. The cable supports the Ultra ATA-66/100 transfer protocol
and is backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. Figure 19 shows the
correct installation of the cable.
For correct function of the cable:
• Attach the cable end with the single connector to the board.
• Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors to the drives.
