The red stripe on an IDE cable indicates the "pin 1" side of the connector. This marking helps users correctly align the cable when connecting it to both the motherboard and the hard drive or optical drive, ensuring proper data transfer and functionality. Incorrectly connecting the cable can lead to device malfunction or data loss.

Step by step installation of two hard drives On a single PC?
On each motherboard, you will find 2 IDE ports. These ports are for your hard drives, and CD ROM's. On the back of every hard drive, you will find a jumper, together with different settings, for use of the drive being a master, slave or cable select. You adjust these jumpers for placement on the ide cable. Eg being, your main hard drive (80gb), place the jumper for this on to the master setting. Then place this drive at the end of the ide cable. Your second drive (500gb), change the jumper to slave, and place this at the middle of the ide cable). Every ide cable, has a red line down one side of it. This red line shows you which way the cable should be positioned on the drive. The red line always goes to the right. Then on the molex power connector, you will find, 1 yellow, 2 black, and 1 red wire. These can only be plugged into the drive one way round. (You match the red wire facing the red on the ide cable). If the hard drives in question, are SATA or SATA II, then there is no master or slave connector, and they just plug direct into the ports on the drive, and on the board.

What markings on a ribbon cable identify pin 1?
Pin 1 on a ribbon cable is usually colored differently than the other pins. It is often red.
Where should Pin 1 be located on the IDE controller?
Pin 1 on the IDE controller should be located at the end of the connector where there is typically a colored or marked edge on the cable. This pin corresponds to the first wire in the ribbon cable, which is usually red. When connecting the IDE cable to the device, ensure that Pin 1 on the device aligns with Pin 1 on the cable and the controller for proper operation. Incorrect alignment can prevent the device from being recognized or functioning correctly.
