General Discussion about HDD Installation B-3
Installing a hard disk:
In the Standard CMOS Setup Menu ,
♦
Primary means the first connector on the mainboard, that is,
connector IDE1 on our mainboard.
♦
Secondary means the second connector on the mainboard, that is,
connector IDE2 on our mainboard.
♦
Two HDDs can be connected to the each connector:
The first HDD is referred to as Master,
The second HDD is referred to as Slave.
The Master or Slave status of the hard disk drive is set on the hard
disk itself. Refer to the hard disk drive manual.
Installing one HDD :
The red line on the connection cable must be lined up with pin 1 on the connector.
Be sure that your hard disk drive is set at Master. Actually, most hard
disk drives are set at Master as a default, so you don’t need to adjust
any setting. Just connect one end of the 40 pin cable on the drive
connector, and the other end to connector IDE1 on the mainboard.
Installing one HDD + one CD-ROM drive:
The red line on the connection cable must be lined up
with pin 1 on the connector.
Method 1: Set the HDD at Master, and the CD-ROM drive at Slave.
Connect one connector of the 40-pin cable to the hard disk,
another one to the CD-ROM drive, and the other end to
connector IDE1 on the mainboard.
Method 2: Set the HDD as Master and connect one end of the 40-pin
cable to the HDD, and the other end to connector IDE1 on
the mainboard.
You can ignore the setting of the CD-ROM drive, just
connect one end of the 40-pin cable to the CD-ROM drive,
and the other end to connector IDE2 on the mainboard.
We recommend you use this kind of connection, which has
no influence on HDD speed.
