P5TX–Apro User's Manual
3: Reconfiguring Your Mainboard – 3.19
IDE cables have three connectors on them, one at each end
and one in-between, closer to one of the ends. When you install
a device on the second channel, attach the lone end to the IDE2
connector on the mainboard. The two connectors that are closer
to each other are for connecting to IDE devices. The connector
on the end is for the Master device and the connector in the middle
is for the Slave device.
IDE Devices & CMOS Setup
When you install a new hard disk drive its parameters will be
automatically detected by the BIOS and entered in the Standard
CMOS Setup section of the CMOS Setup utility if you use the
Setup Defaults, which automatically detect any new hard disk
drive. All other devices do not use drive parameters and will not
show up in the device list on this page.
