Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk
drive(s) with the colored edge of the daisy chained
ribbon cable aligned to pin 1 of the drive edge
connector(s). The end-most connector should be at-
tached to the drive you want to be Drive A.
IDE Hard Disk Interface
The 586OP system board is equipped with two PCI IDE
connectors that will interface four IDE (Integrated Drive
Electronics) hard disk drives. An IDE drive is a hard
drive with the controller electronics built into the disk
assembly. The integration of the controller and the drive
as a single unit increases both the reliability and perfor-
mance by eliminating redundant circuitry.
Note:
Only IDE drives can be connected to the IDE interface.
