Installing a Floppy Diskette Drive
The mainboard has a floppy diskette drive (FDD) interface and ships with a
diskette drive ribbon cable that supports one or two floppy diskette drives. You
can install a 5.25-inch drive and a 3.5-inch drive with various capacities. The
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.
FDD1: Floppy Disk Connector
This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connect-
ing the single end to the onboard floppy connector, connect the remaining
plugs on the other end to the floppy drives correspondingly.
You must orient the cable connector so that the pin 1 (color) edge of the
cable corresponds to the pin 1 of the I/O port connector.
