Page 24: Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching IDE drive cabling 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. - Page 25 Trinity i875P S5101 Chapter 2: Board Installation Serial ATA Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors is illustrated below: Se rial ATA Hard drive Serial ATA Cable Serial ATA Connector Serial ATA Cable Power Cable Simply plug in the BLACK END of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA connector, and the other end(s) into the drive(s).
- Page 26 Trinity i875P S5101 Chapter 2: Board Installation 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.

- Page 76 Form factor: an industry term for the size, shape, power supply type, and external connector type of the Personal Computer Board (PCB) or motherboard. The standard form factors are the AT and ATX, although TYAN also makes some Baby-AT and ATX Footprint boards. Global timer: onboard hardware timer, such as the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
- Page 77 Trinity i875P S5101 Appendix I: Glossary Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to catch up. This is most common when the system sends data out to a peripheral device, and it waiting for the peripheral to send some data back (peripherals tend to be slower than onboard system components).
