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.
3.8 – Attaching Drive Cables
Attaching IDE drive cabling 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.
TIP:
Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a
colored wire) faces the drive’s power
connector.
