2.6.4 Floppy Disk Drive Connector
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.
