Connecting The Hard Drive - Advantech PCM-9550F User Manual

2.8.1 Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. It requires one
of two cables (not included in this package), depending on the
drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-
cable connector. 3.5" drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin
connector.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are
gray.
1. Connect one end of the cable to CN16 or CN17. 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 connector.)
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 just one drive, set it as the master.
