2.4 Hardware Installation
It is quite easy to connect the serial ATA cable and the power cord to SATA hard
drives, because they are foolproof. The methods are given below.
(1). Connect the serial ATA cable to AEC-6890M and the serial hard drive.
(2). Connect the power cord to the hard drive.
However, in order to let IDE hard drives usable, ACARD has designed an ATA-to-
SATA converter AEC-7900. The converter doesn’t need any driver. And its installa-
tion is quite easy.
(1). Connect one end of the serial ATA cable to AEC-6890M and another end to the
ATA-to-SATA converter.
(2). Connect the converter to the IDE hard drive, then connect them with a Y-splitter
power cord.
