FDD Connector: FLOPPY
This motherboard includes a standard FDD connector, supporting 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M, and 2.88M FDDs.
IDE Connector: PIDE , SIDE
The IDE connector supports Ultra ATA 133/100/66 IDE hard disk drives. Con- nect the cable’s blue connector to the IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the Ultra ATA master device. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

Ribbon cables are directional, therefore, make sure to always connect with the cable on the same side as pin 1 of the PIDE or FLOPPY connector on the motherboard.
