Internal Peripherals Connectors
Enhanced IDE Ports and Floppy Connector
The MV25/MV25N mainboard features two 40-pin dual-channel IDE
device connectors (IDE1/IDE2) providing support to up to four IDE de-
vices, such as CD-ROM and Hard Disk Drives (H.D.D.). This mainboard
also includes one 34-pin floppy disk controller (FDD1) to accommodate
the Floppy Disk Drive (F.D.D.). Moreover, this mainboard comes with
one 80pin ATA100/66/33 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.
