External Connectors - Asus SP97 User Manual

5. External Connectors

WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly separated from jumpers as shown in the motherboard layout (page 12).
Placing jumper caps over these pins will damage your motherboard.
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 motherboard. 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.
