The FDC connector can support two floppy drives. It is located at the front of
the mainboard. To connect, use the ribbon-cable that has been provided.
Make sure that the red strip is connected to PIN 1 of the connector.

The 845E-ANT mainboard has two IDE connectors: a primary and secondary.
Each IDE connector can support two IDE drives. This mainboard can therefore

figure the second drive to slave mode in the BIOS setup. Please refer to your
hard drive manual for the appropriate jumper settings.
