Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires
one of two cables, depending on the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives
need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat cable connector, 3.5" drives use a
1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connector.
Wire number 1 on the cable is normally red or blue, and the other
wires are usually gray.
1. Connect one end of the cable to CN9. Make sure that the red
(or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is
labeled on the board (on the right side).
2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard drive,
with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard
drives. (see your hard drive's documentation for the location of
the connector).
Connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end
of the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one
as the master and the other one as the slave by using jumpers
on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the master.
