will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and
install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers

Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)?
Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with
your system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable must be
used to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers. Connect
the blue connector to the onboard IDE header and the other connector(s)
to your hard drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive
