2-6 Connectors, Headers 2-6-1 Connectors (1) Power Connector (20-pin block): ATXPWR ATX Power Supply connector. This is a 20-pins connector that usually comes with ATX case. The ATX Power Supply allows to use soft power on with a momentary switch that connect from the front panel switch to 2-pins Power On jumper pole on the motherboard. When the power switch on the back of the ATX power supply turned on, the full power will not come into the system board until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed.
(9) Floppy drive Connector (34-pin block): FDD This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single plug end to motherboard, connect the two plugs at other end to the floppy drives.
(10) Primary IDE Connector (40-pin block): IDE1 (CN10) This connector supports the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single plug end to motherboard, connect the two plugs at other end to your hard disk(s). If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumpers accordingly. Please refer to the documentation of your hard disk for the jumper settings.
• For performance issues, we strongly suggest you don’t install a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive on the same IDE channel as a hard disk. Otherwise, the system performance on this channel may drop. (12) Serial ATA (CN2, CN4) This connector supports Serial ATA device. After connecting the single plug end to motherboard, connect the plug at other end to the SATA device.
