Attaching IDE Drive Cable 
Attaching the IDE drive cable is simple. These cables are “keyed” to only allow them 
to be connected in the correct manner. TYAN motherboards have two on-board IDE 
channels, each supporting two drives. The black connector designates the Primary 
channel, while the white connector designates the Secondary channel. 
 
Attaching IDE cables to the IDE connectors is illustrated below: 

 
 
Simply plug in the BLUE END of the IDE cable into the motherboard IDE connector, 
and the other end(s) into the drive(s). Each standard IDE cable has three connectors, 
two of which are closer together. The BLUE connector that is furthest away from the 
other two is the end that connects to the motherboard. The other two connectors are 
used to connect to drives. 
 
NOTE: Always remember to properly set the drive jumpers.  If only using one device 
on a channel, it must be set as Master for the BIOS to detect it.  
 
TIP: Pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually designated by a colored wire) faces the 
drive’s power connector. 
 
Attaching Serial ATA Cables 
The S5393 is also equipped with 6 Serial ATA (SATA) channels.  
Connections for these drives are also very simple. 
 
There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. 
 
 
Tyan has supplied two SATA cables and one SATA power adapter. If you are in need 
of other cables or power adapters please contact your place of purchase.
