Enhanced IDE and Floppy Connectors
The mainboard features two 40-pin dual-channel IDE device connectors
(IDE1/IDE2) providing support for 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 (FDD). Moreover, this mainboard
comes with one 80-pin ATA 133/100 ribbon cable to connect to IDE
H.D.D. and one 34-pin ribbon cable for F.D.D. connection.
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.
