Hardware Installation
2.6.2 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 (J6) on the mainboard. The
colored edge of the ribbon should be aligned with pin 1 of J6.
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.
