Installing An Fdd; Installing I/O Equipment; Installing One Secondary Hdd/Cd-Rom Device (External) - Advantech PPC-103 Manual

2.3.4 Installing an FDD

Up to two floppy drives can be attached to the PPC-103's I/O
controller. Any combination of 5¼" (360 KB and 1.2 MB)
and/or 3½" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives can be
attached.
A 34-pin FDD connector is located on the rear panel of the
PPC-103. Unscrew the two attachment screws and detach
the metal cover. Connect one end of a 34-pin daisy-chain
drive connector cable and one end of a power signal cable
(one each of these is included in the accessory box) to the
FDD connector on the rear panel, and connect each of the
other ends to an FDD.
Notes!
(1) Installation of two FDDs requires a flat ribbon connector
with two plugs and a y-splitter for the power cable. The flat
ribbon cable in the accessory kit has the required plugs. Users
will have to procure an appropriate y-splitter for the power
cable themselves.
(2) We recommend that only one FDD be installed on your
PPC-103. The requisite power connector cable is included in
the PPC-103 accessory box.

2.4 Installing I/O Equipment

2.4.1 Installing one secondary HDD/CD-ROM device
(external)
Two connectors are located on the rear panel above the PPC-
103's I/O output connectors. The 40-pin connector is for an
external set of master and slave hard disks/CD-ROM. Con-
nect the single end of the appropriate cable to the PPC-103,
and connect the two remaining ends to your hard disk(s)/CD-
ROM.
