Floppy Disk Drive Header (34-pin FLOPPY). This is a 34-pin header that supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the on-board “FLOPPY” header, (O in Mainboard Diagram) connect the remaining plugs on the other end to the corresponding floppy drives. IDE connection IDE Device Headers The on-board IDE headers (P in Mainboard Diagram) support the provided 40/80-pin IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single end to the mainboard, connect the remaining plugs at the other end of your hard disk(s). When installing hard disks, you must configure the drives by setting their jumpers according to the documentation of your hard disk. You may also connect the hard disk drives so that both become Masters, using one ribbon cable on the primary IDEheader, and the other on the secondary IDE header. NOTE: Please make sure that the pin 1 of the ribbon cable the red wire side of the cable) is correctly connected to the on-board header pin 1 as shown on the “mainboard diagram”. Mainboard User's Manual Page 15 7 Quick Steps Floppy connection Mounting Mainboard to chassis Snap the black mounting pins onto the mainboard as shown. Carefully install the mainboard into the computer chassis and align the corresponding mounting holes on the mainboard with the holes on your chassis. While chassis design varies you may need to refer to the chassis manual for the mainboard mounting area. Insert white pins through the chassis and through the mounting holes on the mainboard into the black pin making sure they are snapped fully into place. Insert black mounting pin Insert into chassis Insert white mounting pin Page 16 Mainboard User's Manual 7 Quick Steps Make sure to align rear external I/O connector's with the corresponding openings in chassis shown below (A, C, G, U in Mainboard Diagram) Mainboard User's Manual Page 17 Installing Add-in Boards First read your expansion card documentation for hardware and software settings that may be required to set up your specific card. Set any necessary jumpers on your expansion card and remove the cover plate on your computer case at the slot you intend to use. Keep the plate for possible future use. Carefully align the card's connector and press firmly. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed from the cover plate. PCI Board Installation You can now attach the appropriate wires for the switches, LEDs and speaker to the Front Panel Function header (M in Mainboard Diagram). Then, connect the I/O devices (such as keyboard, mouse and monitor) to the appropriate rear external I/O connectors. Connect the main power cable and ready to boot your system. Press the DEL key when prompted and continue BIOS configurations discussed in the next chapter.
