The FDD and IDE interfaces
If only the rear I/O connection of FDD and IDE interfaces is
required the user may consider applying cPCI-6760D with the
backplane support FDD and IDE direct connection features
(such as cBP-6108, 6105, 6309, or 6402 series backplane) for
floppy drive and IDE devices connection. For this kind of
application, users do not need to purchase the rear board. If
the user uses other backplanes which do not support FDD and
IDE direct connection, the proper rear I/O board is required.
However, the user might wish to connect drives from the
backplane and also use the I/O function on rear I/O board.
Please refer to the notes below:
X
For FDD connection: connect FDD cable either to
backplane or to rear I/O board, do not connect both
simultaneously
X
For IDE1 connection: The 40-wire IDE cable can be
connected to both backplane and rear board when the total
cable length is not more 45cm. Pay attention to the master/
slave settings to prevent settings conflict.
X
For IDE2 connection, when there is no IDE device on front
board: The 40-wire IDE cable can be connected to both
backplane and rear board when the total cable length is not
more than 45cm. Pay attention to the master/slave setting
to prevent setting conflict.
X
For IDE2 connection, when there is one IDE device on front
board: The 40-wire IDE cable can be connected to
either
backplane or rear board, but not both simultaneously. Pay
attention to the master/slave settings to prevent settings
conflict.
WARNING: Please use the correct rear I/O transition module to
enable the functions (I/O interfaces) on rear side. The
board or system will be damaged if the incorrect rear
I/O transition module is used.
