Software Installation - Kontron CP6500-V User Manual

CP6500-V
Note ...
Due to the high transfer rate of ATA-100, a specialized cable which has
additional grounding wires to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling
is required This cable will also support all legacy IDE drives.
The blue end of the ATA-100 cable must connect to the motherboard, the gray
connector to the UltraDMA/100 slave device, and the black connector to the
UltraDMA/100 master device.
Some symptoms of incorrectly installed HDDs are:
• Hard disk drives are not auto-detected: may be a Master / Slave problem or a
bad IDE cable. Contact your vendor.
• Hard Disk Drive Fail message at boot-up: may be a bad cable or lack of
power going to the drive.
• No video on boot-up: usually means the cable is installed backwards.
• Hard drive lights are constantly on: usually means bad IDE cable or defective
drives / motherboard. Try another HDD.
• Hard drives do not power up: check power cables and cabling. May also
result from a bad power supply or IDE drive.
Note ...
A 2.5" HDD can be directly installed only on the standard CP6500-V.

Software Installation

The installation of the Ethernet and all other onboard peripheral drivers is described in detail in
the relevant Driver Kit files.
Installation of an operating system is a function of the OS software and is not addressed in this
manual. Refer to appropriate OS software documentation for installation.
Note ...
Users working with pre-configured operating system installation images for
Plug and Play compliant operating systems, for example Windows® 95/98/ME,
Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, must take into con-
sideration that the stepping and revision ID of the chipset and/or other onboard
PCI devices may change. Thus, a re-configuration of the operating system in-
stallation image deployed for a previous chipset stepping or revision ID is in
most cases required. The corresponding operating system will detect new de-
vices according to the Plug and Play configuration rules.
