2.35 – 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.
Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below:
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 standard 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.
Note: Always remember to properly set the drive jumpers. If only using one device on
a channel, it must be set as Master for the BIOS to detect it.
