Device Connection

The UltraATA 133 PCI is a dual channel Ultra ATA/133 controller that support up to for IDE hard

disk drives or ATAPI devices. If you plan to use the second channel (IDE2).

In order to achieve high-speed data transfer, a 40-pin/80-wire Ultra ATA ribbon cable is

recommended. Also, do not mix Ultra ATA/133 hard disk with slow 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 Ultra ATA ribbon cable to the board’s IDE controller

and the other connector(s) to your IDE drive(s) to your IDE 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

IDE drive(s).

3. When two 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

mast drive to the end connector of the cable and the slave drive in the middle connector.

5. Reconnect the system power and other peripherals to your computer..
