Floppy Disk Drive and IDE Connectors
The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector
floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to this FDC1,
and the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives. Generally you need
only one floppy disk drive in your system.
The IDE1/IDE2 port connects up to two
IDE drives at Ultra ATA/100 mode by one
40-pin, 80-conductor, and 3-connector Ultra
ATA/66 ribbon cables. Connect the single
end (blue connector) at the longer length of
ribbon cable to the IDE port on server board,
and the other two ends (gray and black
connector) at the shorter length of the
ribbon cable to the connectors on hard
drives.
NOTE:
The red line on the ribbon cable should be aligned with pin-1 on this
connector.
