Once the memory modules are firmly seated in the slot, two latches on
either side will close and secure the module into the slot. Sometimes you
may need to close the latches yourself.
To remove the memory module, simply push the latches outwards until
the memory module pops up. Then remove the module.

2.08 – Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are "keyed" to only
allow them to be connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have
two on-board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black
connector designates the Primary channel, while the white connector
designates the Secondary channel.
Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE
connector, and the other end(s) into the drive(s). Each ATA-133 IDE cable
has three connectors, two of which are closer together. The BLUE connector
that is furthest away from the other two is the end that connects to the
motherboard. The other two connectors are used to connect to drives.
Notes:
Always remember to properly set the drive jumpers.
If only using one device on a channel, it should be set as Master.
The maximum supported length of an IDE cable is 18".
The Thunder K8W is also equipped with four Serial ATA (SATA)
channels.
There are no Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.
Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter. If you are
in need of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of
purchase.
