Example 6: Three Hard Disks & One CD-ROM Drive
To install this configuration:
1. Make sure two hard disks are configured as Mas-
ter drives and the other as a Slave drive. Most drives
are set to Master at the factory.
2. Connect the Master end of one IDE ribbon cable
to one of the Master drives aligning the Pin 1 posi-
tions and install it in the system case.
3. Install the Slave drive in the system case and con-
nect the IDE ribbon cable' s Slave connector to it,
aligning the Pin 1 positions.
4. Plug the other end of the IDE cable onto the IDE1
connector on the mainboard with the Pin 1 posi-
tions aligned.
5. Connect the Master end of the second IDE ribbon
cable to the other Master drive aligning the Pin 1
positions and install it in the system case.
6. Install the CD-ROM drive in the system case and
connect the Slave (middle) connector of the IDE
ribbon cable to it aligning the Pin 1 positions.
7. Plug the other end of the second IDE cable onto
the IDE2 connector on the mainboard with the Pin
1 positions aligned.
8. Use the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility to enter the drive
parameters for the Primary Master, Primary Slave
and Secondary Master as described in the Standard
CMOS Setup section of Section 3. The CD-ROM
drive does not require this.
9. Format the drives as required by the operating sys-
tem you will use. The Primary master is the boot
(start-up) drive.
