The built-in Enhanced IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) controller
supports up to two IDE devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape backup
drives, a large hard disk drive and other IDE devices. It also supports
faster data transfer rates and allows IDE hard disk drives with capacities
in excess of 528 MB.

2.7.1 Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. Wire number 1 on the
cable is red or blue, while the other wires are gray.
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.

2.8 Secondary (2.5") IDE connector (CN10)

The on-board 44-pin mini-pitched IDE interface is used to let user sup-
port either a 2.5" HDD.
Follow the same connection arrangement as the 3.5" HDD if you want to
connect to a 2.5" IDE device. Read the BIOS setup section for more
information regarding system settings.
Note:

2.9 FDD connector (CN13)

You can attach up to two floppy disks to the POS-761F's on-board con-
troller. You can use any combination of 5º" (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or
3¾" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.
A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual-drive
system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the
other end are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each set consists
of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3¾" drives) and a
printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5º" drives).
POS-761F User's Manual
You cannot use a DMA-66 HDD, due to the
cableís limitation.
