The following diagram indicates the location of the floppy drive connector:
To install the floppy drive, first refer to the instructions that come with the floppy drive. Then consult the
instructions here.
Attaching a floppy drive can be done in a similar manner to an IDE drive. Most of the current floppy
drives on the market require that the cable be installed with the colored stripe positioned next to the power
connector. In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable, which will force proper connection of the
cable.
The motherboard supports only one floppy connector, but the connector can support up to two floppy
drives. Below are some symptoms of incorrectly installed floppy drives. Wrong installation should not
cause severe damage but it may cause your system to freeze or crash when trying to read and/or write to the
floppy diskette.
