IDE hard drive connector (CN7, CN8)

You can attach up to four Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics

hard disk drives to the mainboard's internal controller. The

mainboard's IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface. This

advanced interface supports faster data transfer and allows the IDE

hard drive to exceed 528 MB.

Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires

one of two cables, depending on the drive size.

Wire number 1 on the cable is normally red or blue, and the other

wires are usually gray.

1. Connect one end of the cable to CN7 or CN8. Make sure that

the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector,

which is labeled on the board (on the right side).

2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard drive,

with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard

drives. (see your hard drive's documentation for the location of

the connector).

Connect a second drive as described above.

Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end

of the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one

as the master and the other one as the slave by using jumpers

on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the master.
