Hardware Installation
Parallel
Floppy Disk Drive Connector
The floppy disk drive connector supports a standard floppy disk
drive. To prevent improper floppy cable installation, the floppy disk
header has a keying mechanism. The 34-pin connector on the floppy
cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is
aligned with pin 1 of the header.
Connecting the Floppy Disk Drive Cable
Install one end of the floppy disk drive cable into the floppy disk
connector on the system board and the other end connector to the
floppy drive. Pin 1 of the cable must align with pin 1 of the connec-
tor.
Note:
FDD and LPT share the same channel therefore you can only
use one device at a time. Even when you are using one device
only, please do not connect a device to the other connector.
Use JP2 to select between using FDD and LPT. FDD is inter-
nally fixed in Slave mode.
