IDE Disk Drive Connectors

The PCI IDE connector will interface two Enhanced IDE (Integrated

Drive Electronics) disk drives. The IDE cable can be inserted into this

connector only if pin 1 of the cable is aligned with pin 1 of the

connector.

Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable

The IDE connector supports 2 devices, a Master and a Slave. Use

an IDE ribbon cable to connect the drives to the system board. An

IDE ribbon cable have 3 connectors on them, one that plugs into an

IDE connector on the system board and the other 2 connects to

IDE devices. The connector at the end of the cable is for the Master

drive and the connector in the middle of the cable is for the Slave

drive.

Install one end of the IDE cable into the IDE connector on the

system board and the other connectors to the IDE devices.
