The MK32N mainboard features two 40-pin dual-channel IDE device con-
nectors (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
(F.D.D.). Moreover, this mainboard comes with one 80pin ATA133/100/66
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 FDD1 connector on the mainboard.
