The
2.14.1 Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.
1.Connect one end of the cable to CN2. 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 into the Enhanced IDE hard drive,
with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the con- nector.)
If desired, 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 one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one drive, set it as the master.
