Internal Connectors

There are also several connectors built onto the mainboard,

including connectors for four Enhanced IDE devices in two chan-
nels and two floppy disk drives. There are also connectors for a
CPU cooling fan, system chassis cooling fan and a modem ring-
in wake-up cable.

Details about these connectors are in Section 4: Reference In-

formation.
