The system board is equipped with a shrouded floppy disk drive
connector that supports two standard floppy disk drives. To pre-
vent improper floppy cable installation, the shrouded floppy disk
header has a keying mechanism. The 34-pin connector on the
floppy cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the
connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header.
Connecting the Floppy Disk Drive Cable
Install one end of the floppy disk drive cable into the shrouded
floppy disk header (FDD) on the system board and the other
end-most connector to the drive you want to designate as Drive
A. If you are connecting another drive (Drive B), install the mid-
dle connector of the cable to the drive. The colored edge of the
daisy chained ribbon cable should be aligned with pin 1 of FDD.
BIOS Setting
Enable or disable this function in the Integrated Peripherals
submenu (“Super I/O Device” field) of the BIOS. Refer to chap-
ter 3 for more information.
