These connectors are for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 signal cables. The

Ultra DMA 133/100/66 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 IDE slave device (optical

drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 133/

100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you install two hard disk

drives, 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.

• 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 100/66 IDE devices.

• These connectors support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5 and

JBOD that spans across the Serial ATA drives.
