(14) FDC1 Connector
This 34-pin connector is called the “
floppy
disk drive connector
”. You can connect a
360K, 5.25”, 1.2M, 5.25”, 720K, 3.5’’,
1.44M, 3.5” or 2.88M, 3.5” floppy disk
drive, you can even connect a 3 Mode
floppy disk drive (it’s a 3 1/2” drive used in
Japanese computer systems).
A floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34
wires and two connectors to provide the
connection of two floppy disk drives. After
connecting the single end to the FDC1,
connect the two connectors on the other end
to the floppy disk drives. In general, people
only install one floppy disk drive on their computer system.
Note
A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1. You need to align the
wire pin 1 to the FDC1 connector pin 1, then insert the wire connector into the FDC1
connector.
(15) IDE1 and IDE2 Connectors
An IDE hard disk drive ribbon cable has 40
wires and two connectors to provide a
connection for two IDE hard disk drives.
After connecting the single end to the IDE1
(or IDE2), connect the two connectors on
the other end to the IDE hard disk drives (or
CD-ROM drive, LS-120, etc.).
Before you install a hard disk, there are
some things you need to be aware of:
♦
“Primary” refers to the first connector on the motherboard, that is, the IDE1 connector
on the motherboard.
♦
“Secondary” refers to the second connector on the motherboard, that is, the IDE2
connector on the motherboard.
♦
Two hard disks can be connected to each connector:
The first HDD is referred to as the “Master”, the second HDD is referred to as the
“Slave”.
♦
For performance issues, we strongly suggest you not to install CD-ROM drive on the
same IDE channel with hard disk. Otherwise, the system performance on this channel
may drop. (For dropping how much is depending on your CD-ROM drive performance.)
