Your cable most likely has a notch on the head to force it into the correct position. If it doesn't, align Pin 1 on the ribbon cable with the side of the board opposite the EMU pins. (In the picture, Pin 1 is marked by the red stripe on the cable.)


Connect the Other End of the Ribbon Cable to the Pandaboard.
