Hardware Installation

2.7.4 Floppy Disk Controller

The system board is equipped with a shrouded floppy disk header 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 may enable or disable this function in the Integrated Peripherals setup of the Award BIOS.

Connecting the Floppy Disk Cable

1.Install the 34-pin header connector into the shrouded floppy disk

header (J10) on the system board. The colored edge of the ribbon should be aligned with pin 1 of J10.

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.

2.7.5 IDE Hard Disk Interface

The system board is equipped with two shrouded PCI IDE headers that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drives. To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each shrouded PCI IDE header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header.
