2. Floppy disk drive connector (34-1 pin FLOPPY)
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).
3. RAID ATA connector (40-1 pin PRI_RAID)
This connector supports either RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 0 + 1
configuration with the Serial ATA connectors through the onboard
Promise
® PDC20378 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 primary
connector follows 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.
• Refer to sections “5.6 Promise ® RAID Configurations” and
“5.7 VIA RAID Configurations” for details.
