Step2: Install the IDE Device
z
The motherboard has two IDE channel ports, the Primary IDE channel and
Secondary IDE channel. Each IDE channel can support two IDE devices. IDE
devices include hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives and removable media drives
such as ZIP drives and LS-120 drives.
Typically, most people install one IDE hard disk drive and one IDE CD-ROM drive
so this motherboard ships with one IDE cable. You can easily obtain a second IDE
cable if you want to install more than two IDE devices.
z
Follow the steps mentioned below to install the IDE device :
z
Locate the IDE1 and IDE2 box header on the motherboard.
z
IDE1-Connect one end of the 40-Pin ribbon cable that comes with the drive to the
HDD header, and the other end of the cable to the IDE1 box header on the
motherboard.
z
IDE2-Connect one end of the 40-Pin ribbon cable that comes with the drive to the
CD-ROM header, and the other end of the cable to the IDE2 box header on the
motherboard. (Note : Each header has the Pin-1 side clearly marked. The Pin-
1 side of the each ribbon cable is always marked with a red stripe on the cable.)
