Tomcat i7230A S5160 Chapter 2: Board Installation
If there is a fan on the heat sink you will need to connect the power lead for the fan to one of
the fan power supply pin headers on the motherboard.
2.7 – Installing Drive Cables
IDE and FDD connectors are "keyed" to only allow insertion only one way. TYAN
motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black
connector is the Primary IDE connector.
Insert the IDE cable as shown in the diagram.
TIP: When connecting to an IDE cable to a drive, Pin 1 on the IDE
cable (usually designated by a colored wire) should be closest to the
drive power connector.
The blue end of the cable connects directly to the motherboard and the
black end of the connector goes to the IDE device.
Serial ATA
Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors are illustrated below:
Plug in one end of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA
connector, and the other end into the drive. Each standard Serial ATA cable has
two connectors, one at each end. Connectors are the same on both ends.
Floppy Drives
Floppy disk drive (FDD) cables are installed the same way as IDE cables. Usually connectors
are keyed to prevent insertion the wrong way. In most cases the cable should be inserted into
the drive with pin 1 closest to the power input. FDD cables usually have a single red wire that
marks pin 1. See the diagram below.
Colored cable denotes pin 1
