2.1Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE Connectors
You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to the
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray. Connect one end to connector CN1 or CN2 on the CPU card. Make sure that the red/blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the
connector (in the upper right hand corner). See Chapter 1 for help finding the connector.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on the cable. If you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave. You do this by setting the jumpers on the drives. If you use just one drive per connector, you should set each drive as the master. See the
documentation that came with your drive for more information.
Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation that came with the drive for more information.
Connect the second hard drive to the remaining connector (CN2 or CN1), in the same way as described above.
2.2IR Connector (CN3)
This connector supports the optional wireless infrared transmitting and receiving module. This module mounts on the system case. You must configure the setting through the BIOS setup.
