CompactFlash disk (CN19)

The PCM-5820 Series is equipped with a CompactFlash disk
socket on the solder side and it supports the IDE interface Com-
pactFlash disk card. The socket itself is especially designed to
prevent any incorrect installation of the CompactFlash disk card.
When installing or removing the CompactFlash disk card, please
make sure that the system power is off.
The CompactFlash disk card is defaulted as the E: disk drive in
your PC system.

Floppy drive connector (CN2)

You can attach up to two floppy drives to the the PCM-5820
Series' on-board controller. Any combination of 5¼" (360 KB and
1.2 MB) and/or 3½" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives is
possible.
A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual-
drive system. A 34-pin flat-cable connector is fitted on one end of
the cable while the other end sports two sets of floppy disk drive
connectors. Each set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (for
the 3½" drives) and a printed-circuit board connector (for the 5¼"
drives).

2.9.1 Connecting the floppy drive

1. Plug in the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN2. Make sure
that the red wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector.
2. Attach the appropriate conector at the other end of the cable to
the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set.
The set at the other end (after the twist in the cable) connects to
the A: drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: drive.
3. If you are connecting a 5¼" floppy drive, line up the slot in the
printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable
connector.
