2.14 Connecting IDE and Floppy Drives
A variety of IDE and ATAPI-compliant devices can be
installed on this motherboard, such as hard disk drives
(HDDs) and CD-ROMs.
Please keep in mind that on this motherboard, the
primary IDE connector is BLACK, and the secondary
IDE connector is WHITE. See the picture to the rightfor
an example of the IDE cable properly connected to the
motherboard, with the BLUE end of the IDE cable
installed on the motherboard.
Pin 1 on the IDE cable is usually denoted by a red or
colored stripe down one side of the cable. That side of
the cable must match Pin 1 on the motherboard’s IDE
connector. There will also be a key pin on the cable that
matches with a notch in the IDE connector, to ensure
proper installation. Consult the documentation that
came with your IDE/ATAPI device, or contact the
device’s manufacturer for more details on installation.
Please note that UltraDMA-100/66 IDE HDDs require a
special 80-wire cable (see picture at right), which has
additional grounding wires. This cable has been
included with this motherboard for your convenience.
The UltraDMA-100/66 cable is backwards compatible
with UltraDMA-33 and legacy IDE HDDs.

NOTE
Only Tyan-approved cables are recommended for this motherboard. If you are
using an existing configuration with older cables, your system might not function
properly. Use only Tyan-approved cables (i.e. the ones included with your new
motherboard).
Some sym ptoms of incorrectly installed HDDs are...
May be a Master/Slave configuration problem, bad
IDE cable, or BIOS mis-configuration. Consult the
HDD documentation or contact your HDD vendor.
May be a bad cable or lack of power going to the
drive. Check the cables for damage and bad con-
nections.
Usually means the cable was installed backwards.
Bad IDE cable or defective dr ives/motherboard. Try
another HDD , or contact your HDD vendor.
Check power cables and cabling. May be a bad
power supply or IDE dr ive problem.
