54 Chapter 3: Adding devices to Matrox 4Sight GPm
Important
4. Use a slotted screwdriver to screw in the 4 slot-head metal screws, included in your
Matrox 4Sight GPm package, connecting the base plate and the hard disk drive.
5. The SATA hard disk drive has two cables attached to it: a 7-pin cable for data and
a power cable. These must be connected to the appropriate connectors on the
motherboard.
Note that, the cables fit best if they are coiled slightly before the base plate is
❖
lowered down on to the chassis.
The Matrox 4Sight GPm motherboard does not provide connectors for ATA/IDE
devices.
Drive assignments
When you connect a mass storage device to the 7-pin SATA connector, the
operating system and BIOS identify it by the SATA connector (port) to which it
is connected. The SATA connector (port 0) is below the mSATA connector
(port 1) when facing the front panel of the unit. The BIOS identifies the device
connected to the SATA connector (port 0) as the primary IDE master. The device
connected to the mSATA connector (port 1) is identified as the secondary IDE
master.
Primary and secondary designations are used simply to differentiate between the
mass storage devices connected to the motherboard. There is no difference in
performance between the primary or secondary device. For more information,
refer to your device's documentation.
Run the BIOS Setup program to verify the configuration of your mass storage
devices.
