2. Floppy disk drive connector (34-1 pin FLOPPY1)

This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After

connecting one end to the motherboard, connect the other end to the

floppy drive. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent incorrect insertion when

using ribbon cables with pin 5 plug).

This connector support either RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 0 + 1

configuration with the Serial ATA connectors through the onboard SIS

180 controller. You can use the RAID feature to set up a disk array

configuration and to support additional IDE devices.

Important notes on the RAID feature:

• By default, the drive that you connect to the PRI_RAID

connector follow the ATA133/100/66/33 protocol as an

independent drive, not as a disk array.

• The RAID/SATA controller chipset does not support ATAPI

devices such as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc.
