Enhanced IDE Ports and Floppy Connectors
The ME17/ME18 mainboard features two 40-pin dual-channel IDE device
connectors (IDE1/IDE0) 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 (F.D.D.). Moreover, this mainboard comes with one 80pinATA66
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/IDE0 or FDC connector on the mainboard.
ATX Power Supply Connector (JWR1)
Locate the 20-pin male header ATX power connector (JWR1) on your
