The 40-pin, 80-conductor cable provided with the Intel® Desktop Board D820LP is fully backward compatible with all IDE transfer protocols. It will also support Ultra ATA/66 if used with one or two Ultra ATA/66 drives attached. If integrating a system with a combination of Ultra ATA/66 drives and IDE drives using previous transfer protocol, it is recommended that the Ultra ATA/66 drives be attached to the primary IDE channel using the provided cable. The other drives should be attached to the secondary channel using a good quality, 40-connector IDE cable (not provided with the Intel® Desktop Board D820LP).
