Connecting the Parallel Printer Port
Attach the DB-25S printer port cable, which came with the system
board, to connector J7 on the G586VSY AIO system board. Make sure
the colored stripe on the ribbon cable aligns with pin 1 of connector J7.
Use a small nutdriver to mount the cable into a DB-25 cutout in the
system chassis.
Floppy Disk Drive Controller
The G586VSY AIO system board has a built-in floppy disk controller
that supports 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 G586VSY AIO system board is equipped with two PCI IDE
shrouded headers that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated
Drive Electronics) hard disk drives.
Note:
Only Enhanced IDE hard drives or ATAPI CD-ROMs can be connected
to the IDE interface.
Connecting the IDE Hard Disk Interface
To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each PCI IDE shrouded
header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE
cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is
aligned with pin 1 of the header.
