5. External Connectors

WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly differentiated from jumpers as shown in the baseboard layout on page 10.
Placing jumper caps over these pins will cause damage to your baseboard.
IMPORTANT: Connect ribbon cables such that the red stripe is on the pin 1 side of
the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on the baseboard. Pin
1 is the side closest to the power connector on hard and floppy disk drives. IDE
ribbon cable must be less than 18in. (46cm), with the second drive connector no
more than 6in. (15cm) from the first connector.
