This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After
connecting one end to the motherboard, connect the other end to the floppy
drive. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent incorrect insertion when using ribbon cables
with pin 5 plug).

2. Serial port 1 connector (10-1 pin COM2)

This connector accommodates a second serial port using an optional serial
port bracket. Connect the bracket cable to this connector then install the
bracket into a slot opening at the back of the system chassis.

The serial port (COM2) bracket is purchased separately.
