2 Turn the motherboard the right way up, holding the bracket in place.
3 Place the heat sink assembly on top of the processor.
It should match up with the mounting holes on the rear bracket.
4 Screw the heat sink assembly into place.
If there is a fan on the heat sink you will need to connect the power lead for the fan to one of
the fan power supply pin headers on the motherboard.

2.9 Installing Drive Cables

IDE and FDD connectors are "keyed" to only allow insertion only one way. TYAN
motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black
connector is a standard IDE channel. Only the blue connector
supports RAID.
Insert the IDE cable as shown in the diagram.
TIP: When connecting to an IDE cable to a drive, Pin 1 on the IDE
cable (usually designated by a colored wire) should be closest to the
drive power connector.
Serial ATA
Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors is illustrated below:
Plug in one end of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA
connector, and the other end into the drive. Each standard Serial ATA cable has
two connectors, one at each end. Connectors are the same on both ends.
Floppy Drives
Floppy disk drive (FDD) cables can be installed in the same way as IDE cables. Usually
connectors are keyed to prevent insertion the wrong way. In most cases the cable should be
inserted into the drive with pin 1 closest to the power input. FDD cables usually have a single
red wire that marks pin 1. See the diagram below.
