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 some cases, drives from two different manufacturers
will not function properly when used together. This occurs due to hard
drive incompatibility, not a problem with the 686IPK system board.
Using 686IPK with CD-ROM Drives
If you encountered problems while using an ATAPI CD-ROM drive that
is set in Master mode, please set the CD-ROM drive to Slave mode.
Some ATAPI CD-ROMs may not be recognized and cannot be used if
incorrectly set in Master mode.
Connecting the Hard Disk Cable
1. If you are connecting two hard drives,
install the 40-pin connector 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 J6).
