7. Use the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility to enter the drive
parameters for the Primary Master and Primary
Slave as described in the Standard CMOS Setup
section of Section 3. The CD-ROM drive does not
require this.
8. Format the hard disks as required by the operating
system you will use. The Primary master is the boot
(start-up) drive.
Example 5: Three Hard Disks
To install this configuration:
1. Make sure two drives are configured as Master
drives and the other as a Slave drive. Most drives
are set to Master at the factory.
2. Connect the Master end of one IDE ribbon cable
to one of the Master drives aligning the Pin 1 posi-
tions and install it in the system case.
3. Install the Slave drive in the system case and con-
nect the IDE ribbon cable’ s Slave connector to it,
aligning the Pin 1 positions.
4. Plug the other end of the IDE cable onto the IDE1
connector on the mainboard with the Pin 1 posi-
tions aligned.
5. Connect the Master end of the second IDE ribbon
cable to the other Master drive aligning the Pin 1
positions and install it in the system case.
6. Plug the other end of the IDE cable onto the IDE2
connector on the mainboard with the Pin 1 posi-
tions aligned.
7. Use the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility to enter the drive
parameters for the Primary Master, Primary Slave
and Secondary Master as described in the Standard
CMOS Setup section of Section 3.
8. Format the drives as required by the operating sys-
tem you will use. The Primary master is the boot
(start-up) drive.
