Step 4
Install Internal Peripherals in System Case
Before you place the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that
you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer hous-
ing, including, but not limited to, the hard disk drive (IDE/HDD), floppy disk
drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit.
To install IDE & FDD drives, follow these procedures:
1. Set the required jumpers on each device according to the instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer. (IDE, HDD, and CD-ROM have to set jumpers
to Master or Slave mode depending on whether you install more than one
device of each kind.)
2. Connect the IDE cable and FDD cable on the back-panel of the internal
peripheral devices to the corresponding headers on board. Note that the
cable should be oriented with its colored stripe (usually red or magenta)
connected to pin#1 of the IDE or FDD connector on the mainboard and
on the device as well.
3. Connect an available power cable from your system power supply unit to
the back-panel of each peripheral device. Note that the power cable is di-
rectional and cannot fit in if not properly positioned.
