PCA-6008VG User Manual 12
2.1 Introduction
You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it is installed
in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have a packed chassis, you
may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections.
2.2 1st (IDE1) IDE Connector
You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the PCA-6008’s
built-in controller. The primary (IDE1) connector can accommodate two drives.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray. Connect one
end to connector CN1 on the single board computer. Make sure that the red/blue wire
corresponds to pin 1 on the connector (in the upper right hand corner). See Chapter
1 for help finding the connector.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on the cable. If
you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to set one as the master
and the other as the slave. You do this by setting the jumpers on the drives.
Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the cable should
also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is labeled on the drive circuit
board. Check the documentation that came with the drive for more information.
