2.6.1 Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. This package includes
One 44PIN IDE cable that can connect to 1.8" and 2.5" drives.
1.
Connect one end of the cable to Hard Drive connector. Make sure
that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector,
which is labeled on the board (on the right side).
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive,
with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive.
(See your hard drive's documentation for the location of the con-
nector.)
If desired, connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the
cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and
one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one
drive, set it as the master.
2.7 Solid State Disk
The board provides a CompactFlash™ card type II socket and type I for
optional socket.
2.7.1 CompactFlash (CN29, CN30)
The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be
enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.
2.8 Parallel port connector (CN23)
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The
board includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP) parallel port accessed via CN23
and a 26-pin flat-cable connector. You will need an adapter cable if you
use a traditional DB-25 connector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin con-
nector on one end, and a DB-25 connector on the other.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed
to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
2.9 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN20)
The board provides a keyboard connector that supports both a keyboard
and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applica-
