[. . . ] 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. 17 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 FLOPPY1 (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. 18 Installing Add-on Cards This mainboard has two 32-bit PCI (Peripheral Components Interconnect) expansion slots, one 4xAGP slot, and one Communications and Networking Riser (CNR) slot. PCI Slots 4xAGP Slot PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. The 4xAGP slot is used to install a graphics adapter that supports the 4xAGP specification 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. CNR Slot This slot is used to insert CNR cards with Modem and Audio functionality. Note: Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually configure the card before installation. Follow these instructions to install an add-on card: 1. Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you are going to use. Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot. Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot. 3. Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw. Note: For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapters, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the add-on card. [. . . ] Note: Never try to install software from a folder that is not specified for use with your mainboard. Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named README. TXT, INSTALL. TXT, or something similar. These files may contain important information that is not included in this manual. Drivers and Software Installation Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive and click "Browse the CD title". This contains the mainboard model and information needed to locate the drivers for your mainboard.
