Finishing Installing the Heatsink 

After you finish installing the heatsink onto the processor and socket, attach the end wire of the 
fan (which should already be attached to the heatsink) to the motherboard. The following diagram 
illustrates how to connect fans onto the motherboard. 
 

 

 
After you’re finished installing all the fans you can connect your drives (hard drives, CD-ROM 
drives, etc.) to your motherboard. 
 

2.19 – Attaching Drive Cables 

 
Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them to be 
connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE channels, each 
supporting two drives. 

The black connector designates the Primary channel, while the white 

connector designates the Secondary channel. 

 
Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below:  

 

 

 
Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE connector, and the other 
end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard IDE cable has three connectors, two of which are closer 
together. The BLUE connector that is furthest away from the other two is the end that connects to 
the motherboard. The other two connectors are used to connect to drives. 
 
Note: Always remember to properly set the drive jumpers.  If only using one device on channel, it 
must be set as Master for the BIOS to detect it.  
 

TIP: Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a colored wire) faces the drive’s power 
connector.
