The colored stripe on the cable indicating pin 1 should face 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 5 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 or the floppy end and
try again.
Next are the Com and Printer ports.
