III. INSTALLATION
5. External Connectors
WARNING!
Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are
clearly separated from jumpers in “Motherboard Layout.” Placing jumper caps
over these will cause damage to your motherboard.
IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on
the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on the
motherboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and
some floppy drives. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 18in. (46cm), with the
second drive connector no more than 6in. (15cm) from the first connector.
1. PS/2 Mouse Connector (6-pin Female)
The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If not de-
tected, expansion cards can use IRQ12. See “PS/2 Mouse Function Control” in
BIOS Features Setup of the BIOS SOFTWARE.
