pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked
with a colored stripe on the cable.

3. Plug the correct connector on the FDD cable for the

5.25-inch or 3.5-inch drive into the FDD connector (B).

4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into

the power connector on the FDD.

When you first start up your system, go immediately to the
Setup Utility to configure the floppy diskette drives that you
have installed.

Installing Add-on Cards

This mainboard has three 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components
Interconnect) expansion slots, one 4xAGP slot, one Commu-
nications and Networking Riser (CNR) slot and an optional
one 8/16-bit ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) slot.

PCI Slots

PCI slots are used to install expansion
cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface.

4xAGP Slot

The 4xAGP slot is used to install a graph-
ics adapter that supports the 4xAGP
specification and has a 4xAGP edge con-
nector.

CNR Slot

This slot is used to insert CNR cards with
Modem and Audio functionality.

ISA Slot
(optional)

The ISA slot is used to install legacy cards
that have an 8/16-bit interface.
