3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA0)

These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for

primary internal storage devices. The current Serial ATA interface allows

up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA

with 133 MB/s (UltraDMA133).

4. IDE connectors (40-1 pin IDE1, IDE2)

This connector supports the provided UltraDMA100/66/33 IDE hard disk ribbon

cable. Connect the cable's blue connector to the primary (recommended) or

secondary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the UltraDMA100/66/

33 slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the UltraDMA100/66/

33 master device. It is recommended that you connect non-UltraDMA100/66/33

devices to the secondary IDE connector. If you install two hard disks, you must

configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly.

Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings. BIOS supports specific

device bootup. If you have more than two UltraDMA100/66/33 devices, purchase

another UltraDMA100/66/33 cable. You may configure two hard disks to be both

master devices with two ribbon cables – one for the primary IDE connector and

another for the secondary IDE connector.

1. Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the

UltraDMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you connect

the cables.

2. The hole near the blue connector on the UltraDMA100/66/33 cable is intentional.
