Floppy Disk Drive (1.44Mb); Device Cage (5.25") - Asus AP100 Hardware Reference Manual

II. System Components

Floppy Disk Drive (1.44MB)

The 1.44MB floppy disk drive requires signal and power connections. The
power connection is easy since it only fits one way and a latch is available
to secure it when fully inserted. The signal cable is tricky because the cable
fits in both orientations as well as shifted one direction or the other. The
signal cable also has no latch to determine when full insertion is made.
Align the red stripes of the signal and power cables so that they face each
other. Carefully insert the connector while visually watching the progress
so that proper alignment and insertion is made. Be careful, bent pins are
very difficult to straighten.

Device Cage (5.25")

The 5.25" device cage is used for mounting three 5.25" devices (such as
CD-ROM, tape, or hard disk drives). The 5.25" device cage can be removed
for mounting or unmounting devices. With the 3.5" device cage and front
panel removed, the 5.25" device cage can be pulled out from the chassis.
For proper mounting of your 5.25" device, use this picture as a reference
otherwise trial and error is necessary to make it flush with the front panel
opening. Screw holes are available on each side for securing devices.
