Connectors

1. Floppy disk drive connector (34-1 pin FLOPPY1)

This connector is for the provided floppy disk drive (FDD) signal cable. Insert

one end of the cable to this connector, then connect the other end to the

signal connector at the back of the floppy disk drive.

Pin 5 on the connector is removed to prevent incorrect cable connection when

using a FDD cable with a covered Pin 5.

2. IDE connector (40-1 pin PRI_IDE1)

This connector is for an Ultra DMA 100/66 signal cable. The Ultra

DMA 100/66 signal cable has three connectors: a blue connector for the

primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra

DMA 100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray

connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you

install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second drive as a slave

device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation

for the jumper settings.

• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the

Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when you

connect the IDE cable.

• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE devices.

NOTE: Orient the red markings on

the floppy ribbon cable to PIN 1.
