2.6.1 Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. This package includes
One 44PIN IDE cable that can connect to 1.8" and 2.5" drives.
1.
Connect one end of the cable to Hard Drive connector. Make sure
that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector,
which is labeled on the board (on the right side).
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive,
with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive.
(See your hard drive's documentation for the location of the con-
nector.)
If desired, connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the
cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and
one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one
drive, set it as the master.
2.7 Solid State Disk
The board provides a CompactFlash™ card type I/II socket .
2.7.1 CompactFlash (CN21)
The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be
enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.
2.8 Floppy Disk Drive connector (CN20)
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the board. You can use 3.5"
(720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.
A 26-pin FPC connector cable is required for a dual-drive system. On one
end of the cable is a 26-pin FPC-cable connector. On the other end are
two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each set consists of a 26-pin
FPC-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives).
2.8.1 Connecting the floppy disk drive
1.
Plug the 26-pin FPC-cable the board's Floppy drive connector.
Make sure that the red wire corresponds to pin one on the connec-
tor.
2.
Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable to
the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set. The
