2.8.4 Floppy Disk Drive Connector

The system board is equipped with a shrouded floppy disk drive

connector that supports two standard floppy disk drives. To prevent

improper floppy cable installation, the shrouded floppy disk header

has a keying mechanism. The 34-pin connector on the floppy cable

can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is

aligned with pin 1 of the header. You may enable or disable this

function in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (“Super IO Device”

field) of the BIOS.

Connecting the Floppy Disk Drive Cable

1. Install the 34-pin header connector of the floppy disk drive cable

into the shrouded floppy disk header (J24) on the system board.

The colored edge of the ribbon should be aligned with pin 1 of

J24.

2. Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s).

Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin

1 of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most connector should

be attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.
