2. IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_IDE, SEC_IDE)
This connector is for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 signal cable. The
Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 signal cable has three connectors: a
blue connector for the primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a
black connector for an Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE slave device
(optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra
DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you

slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk
documentation for the jumper settings.
• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion
when you connect the IDE cable.
• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33
IDE devices.
