Cable Detection for Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra ATA/100
The ICH2 IDE controller supports PIO, multiword (8237-style) DMA, and Ultra DMA modes 0 through
5. The ICH2 must determine the type of cable present, to configure itself for the fastest possible transfer
mode that the hardware can support.

An 80-conductor IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra ATA/100. This cable uses the same
40-pin connector as the old 40-pin IDE cable. The wires in the cable alternate as follows: ground, signal,
ground, signal, ground, signal, ground…. All ground wires are tied together on the cable (and they are
tied to ground on the motherboard through the ground pins in the 40-pin connector). This cable conforms
to the Small Form Factor Specification SFF-8049, which is obtainable from the Small Form Factor
Committee.

To determine if the ATA/66 or ATA/100 mode can be enabled, the Intel 820E chipset requires that the
system software attempt to determine the type of cable used in the system. If the system software detects
an 80-conductor cable, it may use any Ultra DMA mode up to the highest transfer mode supported by
both the chipset and the IDE device. If a 40-conductor cable is detected, the system software must not
enable modes faster than Ultra DMA Mode 2 (Ultra ATA/33).

Intel recommends that cable detection be performed using a combination host-side/device-side detection
mechanism. Note that host-side detection cannot be implemented on an NLX form factor system, since
this configuration does not define the interconnect pins for the PDIAG#/CBLID# from the riser
(containing the ATA connectors) to the motherboard. These systems must rely only on the device-side
detection mechanism.

Combination Host-Side/Device-Side Cable Detection
Host-side detection (described in the ATA/ATAPI-4 Standard, Section 5.2.11) requires the use of two
GPI pins (one for each IDE channel). The proper way to connect the PDIAG#/CBLID# signal of the IDE
connector to the host is shown in the following figure. All IDE devices have a 10 k
GPI pins (one for each IDE channel). The proper way to connect the PDIAG#/CBLID# signal of the IDE
connector to the host is shown in the following figure. All IDE devices have a 10 k
Ω
pull-up resistor to
5 V on this signal. Not all GPI and GPIO pins on the ICH2 are 5 V tolerant. If non-5 V tolerant inputs
are used, a resistor divider is required to prevent 5 V on the ICH2 or FWH Flash BIOS pins. The proper
value of the divider resistor is 10 k
