Installing A Hard Disk Drive - ECS P4S5A2 User Manual

Installing a Hard Disk Drive

1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your
system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1 (A).
Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that
they can only be installed correctly on the device
connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure
that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector
with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each
connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The
pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked
with a colored stripe on the cable.
3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the hard disk drive
IDE connector (B). It doesn't matter which connector
on the cable you use. Ensure that the pin-1 side of the
cable is matched with the pin-1 side of the connector.
Refer to the previous note.
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into
the power connector on the hard disk drive (C).
When you first start up your system, the BIOS should auto-
matically detect your hard disk drive. If it doesn't, enter the
Setup Utility and use the IDE Hard Disk Auto Detect feature to
configure the hard disk drive that you have installed.
