Drive A: is usually attached to the end of the cable with the twist in it. Drive B:
is usually connected to the middle of the cable. Refer to your installation
instructions or call your dealer if you are unsure about attaching floppy drives.
Refer to Figure 2-20 on the previous page for a detailed anatomy of the floppy
cable. Remember, you can only have 2 floppy drives connected at any given
time.
The color stripe on the cable should face toward the top of your chassis, or
toward the big white B printed on the motherboard. Please refer to your
documentation for proper installation, or see Figure 2-20 on page 2-18.
Some symptoms of incorrectly installed floppies are:
•
Floppy drives are not detected: usually caused by faulty cables,
backward cables, or a bad floppy or motherboard. Try another single
floppy drive to verify the problem or try another cable. Also, check to
see if the onboard floppy is enabled in the BIOS.
•
Floppy Drive Fail message at bootup: the cable, floppy, or
motherboard may be faulty. Try another cable or floppy drive to
verify.
•
Light on the floppy is on constantly: a dead giveaway that the
cable is on backwards. Reverse the cable at the motherboard end
and try again.
2.10 Connecting Com and Printer Ports
Warning: When plugging in your keyboard and mouse, or when plugging
anything into a serial or Com port, make sure that the power is off. Connecting
these devices and ports while the power is on is called “hot plugging,” and
may damage your system.
Figure 2-22 at the top of the next page shows the ATX double row connectors
on this board. The Com and Printer ports, as well as the other ports, are
labeled.
Note: Only TYAN cables will work on this motherboard. If you are using an
existing case with old cables, your system will not function properly. Use only
TYAN-approved cables.
