The mainboard is equipped with a shrouded floppy disk drive connector that supports two standard floppy disk drives. To prevent improper floppy cable installation, the shrouded floppy disk header has a keying mechanism. The 34-pin connector on the floppy cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header. You can enable or disable this function in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (“Super IO Device” field) of the BIOS.

Connecting the Floppy Disk Drive Cable

1.Install the 34-pin header connector of the floppy disk drive cable into the shrouded floppy disk header (J27) on the mainboard. The colored edge of the ribbon should be aligned with pin 1 of J27.

2.Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s). Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin 1 of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most connector should be attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.
