Connecting the IDE Cable The Intel® boxed server board package includes a 40-contact, 80-conductor IDE cable. It is capable of connecting two drives to the server board. The cable supports Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra ATA/100 transfer protocols and is backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. For the cable to function correctly: • Attach the cable end with the single connector (A), which is black and labeled PRI IDE, to the server board as shown in Figure 13. • Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (B), which are gray and black and are labeled P2 and P3, to the drives. • If connecting only one IDE drive, be sure to connect the drive to the gray connector (P3).
