There are two different data cables for IDE devices. The first is marked “HDD” next to the system board attachment and has two drive connectors. The middle connector of this data cable must be connected to the bootable or master hard disk drive. The second has only one drive connector which is red and marked “CD-ROM” next to the system board attachment.

Up to three IDE devices can be connected to the system board using these data cables.

After installing an IDE drive, you will need to run Setup to confirm that the drive has been detected by the PC. Refer to “After Installing an IDE Drive” on page 64.
