The AK32E mainboard features two 40-pin dual-channel IDE device connec-
tors (IDE1/IDE2) providing support to up to four IDE devices, such as CD-
ROM and Hard Disk Drives (H.D.D.). This mainboard also includes one 34-
pin floppy disk controller (FDC) to accommodate the Floppy Disk Drive

66/33 ribbon cable to connect to IDE H.D.D. and one 34-pin ribbon cable
for F.D.D. connection.

H.D.D. to IDE 1
Important: Ribbon cables are directional, therefore, make sure to always
connect with the red cable stripe on the same side as pin #1
of the IDE1/IDE2 or FDC connector on the mainboard.
