Board Installation
On all TYAN motherboards, the colored stripe on the cable always faces
towards the rear of the case (towards the ATX connectors), as with the IDE
cables. Please refer to your documentation for proper installation, or see Figure
4 on page 14.
Some symptoms of incorrectly installed floppies are:
• Floppy drives are not detected: usually caused by faulty cables, backward
cables, or a bad floppy or motherboard. Try another single floppy drive to
verify the problem or try another cable. Also, check to see if the onboard
floppy is enabled in the BIOS.
• Floppy Drive Fail message at bootup: the cable, floppy, or motherboard
may be faulty. Try another cable or floppy drive to verify.
• Light on the floppy is on constantly: a dead give-away that the cable is on
backwards. Reverse the cable at the motherboard end and try again.
Next are the Com and Printer ports.
Warning:
anything into a serial or Com port, make sure that the power is off. Connecting
these devices and ports while the power is on is called "hot plugging," and
important!
may damage your system.

and Printer ports, as well as the other ports, are labeled.
