Connecting the Parallel Printer Port
Attach the DB-25S 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.
You may also use the cable to the card-egde bracket which came with
the system board. After attaching the cable to the card-edge bracket,
mount the bracket to the system chasis. You may also use the cable to
the card-egde bracket which came with the system board. After attach-
ing the cable to the card-edge bracket, mount the bracket to the system
chasis.
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.
IDE Hard Disk Interface
The G586IPV system board is equipped with two PCI IDE shrouded
headers that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Elec-
tronics) hard disk drives.
