SATA Drivers
The Tomcat K8SH may be also equipped with 4 Serial ATA (SATA) channels.
Connections for these drives are also very simple.
There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives.
Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter for boards equipped
with SATA" since this is a BOM option. If you are in need of other cables or power
adapters please contact your place of purchase.
The following picture illustrates how to connect a SATA drive
Floppy Drives
Attaching a floppy drive can be done in a similar manner to an IDE drive. See the diagram
below for an example of a floppy cable. Most of the current floppy drives on the market
require that the cable be installed with the colored stripe positioned next to the power
connector. In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable, which will force proper
connection of the cable.

The
first
floppy
denoted as A:) is usually attached to
the end of the cable with the twist in it.
Drive B: is usually connected to the
second or third connector in the cable
(the second or third connector after
you install Drive A:).
Refer to your floppy drive's installation
instructions (if available), or contact
your dealer if you are unsure about
how to attach the floppy drive(s).
Remember, you can only have 2 floppy
drives connected at any given time.
