Connectors

This section describes and illustrates the internal connectors on the
motherboard.

Always connect ribbon cables with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the
connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector
on hard drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side
on floppy disk drives.

This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After
connecting one end to the motherboard, connect the other end to the

using ribbon cables with pin 5 plug).
