This motherboard includes a standard floppy connector, supporting 360 K, 720 K,

HDD Connectors: PIDE & SIDE
These connectors support the provided Ultra DMA133/100/66/33 IDE hard disk
ribbon cable and you can configure as a disk array through NVIDIA nForce4 IDE
RAID controller. Refer to chapter 5 for details on how to set up RAID configurations.
Connect the cable's blue connector to the primary (recommended) or second-
ary IDE connector, then connect the gray connector to the slave device (hard
disk drive) and the black connector to the master device. If you install two hard
disks, you must configure the second drive as a slave device by setting its
jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

nect with the cable on the same side as pin 1 of the PIDE, SIDE or
FLOPPY connector on the motherboard.
