Power Supply Cables
The two cables from the standard 5-volt power supply
connect to the power connector on the mainboard (refer
to page 4). You must align the connectors on the power
cable at a slight angle to correctly fit them onto the
mainboards power connector. Then, press down on the
connectors to lock them in place. The (2) connectors
should be installed so that the BLACK wires meet in
the middle of the connector.
Serial and Parallel Ports
The cables from the supplied serial port connector bracket hook to the COM1 and COM2
connectors on the mainboard. Generally, the upper serial port on the bracket would be
configured as COM1 and the lower port as COM2. Make sure to orient Pin-1 marked on the
mainboard to the RED stripe on the ribbon cables.
The cable from the supplied parallel port connector bracket hooks to the parallel connector
on the mainboard. Make sure to orient Pin-1 marked on the mainboard to the RED stripe on
the ribbon cable.
IrDA-compliant infrared module connector
The IrDA connector bracket hooks directly to this connector on the
mainboard. This connector provides support for the optional wireless
transmitting and receiving infrared module. You must first configure
through the BIOS setup where UART2 is directed, COM2 or IrDA.
USB Connector
This 8-pin connector permits connection of two USB peripheral devices directly to the
system without an external hub.
