Parallel Port; Floppy Disk Drive Controller - DFI G586IPV User Manual

Parallel Port

The G586IPV system board has a standard connector for interfacing
your PC to a parallel printer. The parallel port on your system board can
be set to any of the following system I/O addresses:
Connecting the Parallel Printer Port
Attach the DB-25 printer cable, which came with the system board, to
connector J7 on the G586IPV system board. Make sure the colored
stripe on the ribbon aligns with pin 1 of connector J7. Use a small
nutdriver to mount the cable into a DB-25 cutout in the system chassis.
If your printer port cable is attached to a card-edge bracket, connect the
cable to connector J7 on the system board and mount the card-edge
bracket to the system chassis.

Floppy Disk Drive Controller

The G586IPV system board has a built-in floppy disk controller that sup-
ports two standard floppy disk drives. You can install any 360KB,
720KB, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB floppy disk drives.
Connecting the Floppy Disk Cable
1. Install the 34-pin header connector into the floppy disk connector
(J6) on the system board. The colored edge of the ribbon should be
aligned with pin 1 of connector J6.
2. Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s).
Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin 1
of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most connector should be
attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.
