If there is a fan on the heat sink you will need to connect the power lead for the fan to one of 

the fan power supply pin headers on the motherboard. 

2.7   Installing Drive Cables 

IDE and FDD connectors are  keyed  to only allow insertion only one way. TYAN 

motherboards have two on board IDE channels, each supporting two drives. The black 

connector is the Primary IDE connector. 

Insert the IDE cable as shown in the diagram. 

TIP: When connecting to an IDE cable to a drive, Pin 1 on the IDE 

cable (usually designated by a colored wire) should be closest to the 

drive power connector. 

The blue end of the cable connects directly to the motherboard and the 

black end of the connector goes to the IDE device. 

Serial ATA  

Attaching Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA connectors are illustrated below: 

Plug in one end of the Serial ATA cable into the motherboard Serial ATA 

connector, and the other end into the drive. Each standard Serial ATA cable has 

two connectors, one at each end. Connectors are the same on both ends.  

Floppy Drives 

Floppy disk drive (FDD) cables are installed the same way as IDE cables. Usually connectors 

are keyed to prevent insertion the wrong way. In most cases the cable should be inserted into 

the drive with pin 1 closest to the power input. FDD cables usually have a single red wire that 

marks pin 1. See the diagram below. 

Colored cable denotes pin 1
