2.9 Solid State Disk
The PCM-9577 provides a CompactFlash™ card socket and DiskOnChip
socket for Solid state disk solutions.
2.9.1 CompactFlash (CN29)
The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be
enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.
2.10 Floppy drive connector (CN24)
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the PCM-9577’s on-board con-
troller. You can use any combination of 5.25” (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/
or 3.5” (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 3.5” drives) and a
printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5.25” drives).
2.10.1 Connecting the floppy drive
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN24. Make sure that the
red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector.
2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable to
the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set. The
set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: drive.
The set in the middle connects to the B: drive.
3. If you are connecting a 5.25” floppy drive, line up the slot in the
printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable connec-
tor.
If you are connecting a 3.5” floppy drive, you may have trouble determin-
ing which pin is number one. Look for a number printed on the circuit
board indicating pin number one. In addition, the connector on the floppy
drive may have a slot. When the slot is up, pin number one should be on
the right. Check the documentation that came with the drive for more
information.
If you desire, connect the B: drive to the connectors in the middle of the
cable as described above.
In case you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assign-
ments for the board’s connector in Appendix C.
