WARNING! Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are

clearly distinguished from jumpers in the Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper

caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard.

IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the

Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on the

motherboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the power connector on hard drives and

floppy drives. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 46 cm(18 in.), with the second drive

connector no more than 15 cm (6 in.) from the first connector.
