Installing A Floppy Diskette Drive - ECS L4S5M Manual

Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive
1. Install the CD-ROM/DVD drive into the drive cage in your system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1
(A). If you have already installed
an HDD, use the other
connector on the IDE cable.
Note: Ribbon cable connectors are
usually keyed so that they can only
be installed correctly on the device
connector. If the connector is not
keyed, make sure that you match the
pin-1 side of the cable connector with
the pin-1 side of the device
connector. Each connector has the
pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1
side of each ribbon cable is always
marked with a colored stripe on the
cable.
3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD drive IDE connector (B). It
doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use.
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on
the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C).
5. Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to connect to the
mainboard CD-in connector CDIN1 or CDIN2 (D).
When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect
your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn't, enter the Setup Utility and configure
the CD-ROM/DVD drive that you have installed. See IDE Primary/Secondary
Master/Slave (Auto) on page 28 for more information.

floppy diskette drive cable has one type of connector for a 5.25-inch drive and
another type of connector for a 3.5-inch drive.
1. Install the FDD into the drive cage in your system case.
2. Plug the FDD cable into
FLOPPY1 (A):
Note: Ribbon cable connectors are

the pin-1 side of the device
connector. Each connector has the
pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1
