This section describes and illustrates the internal connectors on the
motherboard.
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.
Always connect ribbon cables with the red stripe to Pin 1 on the
connectors. Pin 1 is usually on the side closest to the power connector
on hard drives and CD-ROM drives, but may be on the opposite side
on floppy disk drives.
