Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we
recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into
the computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive
(IDE/HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power
supply unit. This will greatly facilitate in making the connection to the
mainboard described below.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow this procedure:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer. (IDE devices, HDD and CD-ROM, must
have jumpers on Master or Slave mode depending on your willing to
install more than one device for each kind.
2. Connect IDE cable and FDD cable to the back panel of the internal
peripheral devices. Note that the cable should be oriented with its
colored stripe (usually in red or magenta) connected to pin#1 both on
the mainboard IDE or FDD connector and on the device as well.
3. Connect an available power cable through your system power supply
unit to the back panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power
cable is directional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.
