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

IDE Hard Disk Interface
The G486VPB system board is equipped with one VL-
Bus IDE connector and one ISA IDE connector that will
interface four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard
disk drives. An IDE drive is a hard drive with the con-
troller electronics built into the disk assembly. The
integration of the controller and the drive as a single
unit increases both the reliability and performance by
eliminating redundant circuitry.
Note:
Only IDE drives can be connected to the IDE interface.
