2.4.11. Floppy and IDE Disk Drive Connectors
The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector
floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDC1
on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives connector.
Generally you need only one floppy disk drive in your system.
NOTE: The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the FDC1
port and the floppy connector.
Each of the IDE port connects up to two
IDE drives at Ultra ATA/100 mode by one
40-pin, 80-conductor, and 3-connector Ultra
ATA/66 ribbon cables.
Connect the single end (blue connector) at
the longer length of ribbon cable to the IDE
port of this board, the other two ends (gray
and black connector) at the shorter length of
the ribbon cable to the connectors of your
hard drives.
NOTE: Make sure to configure the “Master” and “Slave” relation before connecting
two drives by one single ribbon cable. The red line on the ribbon cable must be
aligned with pin-1 on both the IDE port and the hard-drive connector.
