Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
2.1
Enhanced IDE Connectors (CON 1, CON 2)
You can attach four IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to the
PCA-6155V's internal controller. The PCA-6155V CPU card has two
EIDE connectors.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, the other wires are gray.
Connect one end to the connector on the CPU card. Make sure that the
red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector (on the right
side). See Chapter 1 for help finding the connector.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on
the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the
master and one as the slave. You do this by setting the jumpers on the
drives. If you use just one drive, you should set it as the master. See
the documentation that came with your drive for more information.
Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the
cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which
is labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation that
came with the drive for more information.
Connect the second drive as described above.
Note:
before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not
in the chassis.
We do not recommend connecting to a Seagate
ST-31010A, ST-31011A, ST-1277A, ST-31720A,
ST-31721A, ST-32120A, ST-32121A, ST-32531A,
33230A, ST-33240A, ST-34340A, or ST-3852A IDE
HDD. This is an incompatibility issue and not a fault
of either device.
