11 Chapter 2 Installation
2.3 Installing SO-DIMMs
The procedure for installing SO-DIMMs is described below. Please fol-
low these steps carefully. The number of pins are different on either side
of the breaks, so the module can only fit in one way. SO-DIMMs modules
have different pin contacts on each side, and therefore have a higher pin
density.
1.
Make sure that the two handles of the SO-DIMMs socket are in the
“open” position. i.e. The handles remain leaning outward.
2. Slowly slide the SO-DIMMs module along the plastic guides on
both ends of the socket.
3. Press the SO-DIMMs module right down into the socket, until you
hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically
locked the memory module into the correct position of the socket.
To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the
module will be ejected from the socket.
2.4 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN5)
The PCM-3386 provides 1 IDE channel to which you can attach up to
two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM
to the PCM-3386’s internal controller. The PCM-3386's IDE controller
uses a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data
transfer, PIO mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/33.
2.4.1 Connecting the hard drive
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 CN5. 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 con-
nector.)
