[. . . ] Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored stripe on the cable. Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD drive IDE connector (B). It doesn't matter which connector on the cable you use. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C). Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to connect to the mainboard CD-in connector CDIN1 or CDIN2 (D). 2. When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn't, enter the Setup Utility and configure the CD-ROM/DVD drive that you have installed. 14 Installing a Floppy Diskette Drive The mainboard has a floppy diskette drive (FDD) interface and ships with a diskette drive ribbon cable that supports one or two floppy diskette drives. You can install a 5. 25-inch drive and a 3. 5-inch drive with various capacities. The floppy diskette drive cable has one type of connector for a 5. 25-inch drive and another type of connector for a 3. 5-inch drive. Install the FDD into the drive cage in your system case. Plug the FDD cable into FDC (A): Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored stripe on the cable. Plug the correct connector on the FDD cable for the 5. 25-inch or 3. 5-inch drive into the FDD connector (B). Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on the FDD (C). 2. When you first start up your system, go immediately to the Setup Utility to configure the floppy diskette drives that you have installed. Installing Add-on Cards This mainboard has five 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components Interconnect) expansion slots, one AGP slot, and one AMR slot. 15 AGP Slot The AGP slot is used to install a graphics adapter that supports the 4xAGP specifications and has a 4xAGP edge connector. Note: The above layout is for reference only. The AGP slot may be different from your mainboard. Please refer to actual shipment. PCI Slots AMR Slot PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. The AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot is an industry standard slot that allows for the installation of a special audio/modem riser card. [. . . ] This file contains the information needed to locate the drivers for your mainboard. Look for the chipset and mainboard model; then browse to the directory and path to begin installing the drivers. Most drivers have a setup program (SETUP. EXE) that automatically detects your operating system before installation. Other drivers have the setup program located in the operating system subfolder. [. . . ]
