Step 9 Install Floppy Disk Drives
EZ-Flex supports one or two floppy drives via the onboard
controller. The floppy drive cable connects to P002 on the
board and is supplied separately. Skip this section if you do
not want to use the built-in floppy controller.
P002 is a 34-pin dual-inline berg connector. Make sure Pin
1 on the Base Board matches Pin 1 on the cable. Pin 1 of
the 34-pin floppy cable is identified by a colored stripe (see
page 16).
Before inserting the floppy cable connector, make sure that
all connector pins are straight and aligned vertically. If they
are not, gently straighten the bent pins using needle-nosed
pliers. Disable all floppy controller on any adapter card(s),
disable it completely or the Base Board floppy controller
cannot function properly. Attach the disk drives to the
chassis using the mounting hardware supplied with the
drives or the chassis. The drives need mounting guides
before they can be attached to the chassis. Mounting guides
should be supplied with either the drive or the chassis.
