Step 3: Installing the Hard Drives
Important
If you wish to include your current bootable Serial or Parallel
ATA drive using the Windows NT4.x, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP operating system on your SATA150 TX Series
Controller card, do NOT connect the hard drive to the card yet.
You MUST install the Windows NT4, 2000, or XP driver software
first onto this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard
drive controller.
SATA150 TX2plus
The SATA150 TX2plus Controller card supports up to two Serial ATA hard
drives and two Parallel ATA hard drives.
1. Configure the jumpers of the Parallel ATA hard drive you’re preparing to
connect to the SATA150 TX2plus card using the proper Master, Slave, or
Cable-Select settings. For more information, refer to the manual that came
with your hard drive.
2. Install all of the hard drives into the hard drive bays of your system,
including their power cables.
3. Attach the Parallel ATA cable to the hard drive(s) and to the Parallel ATA
Port connector on the SATA150 TX2plus controller card. The colored edge
of the cable indicates pin 1 (see Figure 2 below). The blue cable connector
attaches to the SATA150 TX2plus card.
