Device Connection
The UltraATA 133 PCI is a dual channel Ultra ATA/133
controller that supports up to four IDE hard disk drives or ATAPI
devices. If you plan to use the second IDE channel(IDE2), you will
need to purchase another 40-pin/80-wire Ultra ATA ribbon cable.
Inorder toachieve high-speeddata transfer,a 40-pin/80-wireUltra
ATAribboncableisrecommended. Also,donotmixUltraATA/133
hard disk with slower IDE or ATAPI devices on the same channel.
1. Install hard disk drive(s) in chassis.
2. Attach one connector on the long end of the Ultra ATA ribbon
cable to the board's IDE connector and the other connector(s)
to your hard disk drive(s). Make sure pin 1 on the cable
(indicated by the colored stripe) matches pin 1 on the board's
IDE connector and your hard disk drive(s).
3. When two hard disk drives are installed on the same IDE
channel, make sure one drive is set up as Master and the other
as Slave. This rule applies to both IDE channels.
4. The Ultra ATA ribbon cable has two connectors. If you install
only one drive, connect it to the end connector of the cable.
On the other hand, if you install two drives, connect the master
drive to the end connector of the cable and the slave drive in
the middle connector.
