External Connectors - Asus TX97 User Manual

5. External Connectors

WARNING: Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly separated from jumpers in "Map of the ASUS Motherboard."
Placing jumper caps over these will cause damage to your motherboard.
IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe 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 drives
and floppy drives. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 18in. (46cm), with the
second drive connector no more than 6in. (15cm) from the first connector.
