Serial Port

The built-in serial por ts are RS-232C asynchronous communication ports with 16C550A-compatible UARTs that can be used with modems, serial printers, remote display terminals, and other serial devices. You can set the serial por ts I/O address in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (Super IO Device field) of the BIOS.

Connecting the Serial Ports

The system board is equipped with an onboard serial port (J1 Teal/Turquoise) for COM 1 primary serial port located at the ATX double deck ports of the board. It is also equipped with a 9-pin connector at location J9 for COM 2 secondar y serial por t.

Hardware Installation

One card-edge bracket, mounted with a serial port cable and a game/MIDI port cable, is provided with the system board. If you want to use the secondary serial port, connect the serial port cable to connector J9. Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is aligned with pin 1 of connector J9. Mount the card-edge bracket to the system chassis.

Hardware Installation

2.6.4 Floppy Disk Drive Connector

FDD (J27)

The mainboard is equipped with a shrouded floppy disk drive connector that supports two standard floppy disk drives. To prevent improper floppy cable installation, the shrouded floppy disk header has a keying mechanism. The 34-pin connector on the floppy cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header. You can enable or disable this function in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (Super IO Device field) of the BIOS.

Connecting the Floppy Disk Drive Cable

1. Install the 34-pin header connector of the floppy disk drive cable into the shrouded floppy disk header (J27) on the mainboard. The colored edge of the ribbon should be aligned with pin 1 of J27.

2. Install the other 34-pin header connector(s) into the disk drive(s). Align the colored edge of the daisy chained ribbon cable with pin 1 of the drive edge connector(s). The end-most connector should be attached to the drive you want to designate as Drive A.

Hardware Installation

2.6.5 IDE Disk Drive Connector

IDE 2

(J23)

IDE 1 (J19)

The mainboard is equipped with two shrouded PCI IDE headers that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) disk drives. To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each shrouded PCI IDE header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header. You can enable or disable the onboard primary or secondary IDE controller in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (VIA OnChip IDE Device field) of the BIOS.

Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable

1. If you are connecting two IDE drives, install the 40-pin connector of the IDE cable into the primary shrouded IDE header (J19). If you are adding a third or fourth IDE device, install the 40-pin connector of the other IDE cable into the secondary shrouded IDE header (J23).

2. Install the other 40-pin header connector(s) into the device with the colored edge of the ribbon cable aligned with pin 1 of the drive edge connector(s).
