2. Install the other 40-pin header connector(s) into the device with the

colored edge of the ribbon cable aligned with pin 1 of the drive
edge connector(s).

Note:

Refer to your disk drive user’s manual for information about selecting
proper drive switch settings.

Adding a Second IDE Hard Drive

When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and the
other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive manu-
facturer for setting the jumpers and/or switches on the drives.

We recommend that you use Enhanced IDE hard drives from the same
manufacturer. In a few cases, drives from two different manufacturers
will not function properly when used together. The problem lies in the
hard drives, not the 586TXD system board.

Preparing an IDE Drive for Use

IDE disk drives are already low-level formatted, with any bad-track er-
rors entered, when shipped by the drive manufacturer. Do not attempt
to do a low-level format or you may cause serious damage to the drive.

Connecting the Hard Disk Cable

1. If you are connecting two hard

drives, install the 40-pin con-
nector of the IDE cable into the
primary shrouded IDE header
(connector J7). If you are add-
ing a third or fourth IDE device,
install the 40-pin connector of
the other IDE cable into the
secondary shrouded IDE
header (connector J8).
