Connecting an IDE Hard Drive
This section describes how to connect an IDE hard drive to the ÉlanSC310
microcontroller evaluation board. You need to provide the following additional
items:
• An IDE-compatible hard drive of size not more than 512 Mbyte. See the
appendix “Verified Peripherals” on page B-1 for a list of hard drives that are
known to work. Note that Connor and Fujitsu hard drives do not work with the
ÉlanSC310 microcontroller evaluation board.
• A standard 40-wire AT IDE cable.
Assuming you have successfully booted to DOS from a disk drive as described in
“Booting DOS From a Diskette” on page 1-2, do the following:
1. Disconnect power by unplugging the PC power supply from the AC outlet.
WARNING:
If the PC power supply is on but the board
has been put in a standby mode using the MicroPower Off
button, there is still some power on the board. Completely
unplug the power supply before continuing.
2. Inspect the 40-wire IDE cable that you are providing. The red wire along one
edge of the ribbon cable indicates wire 1. Connect one end of the 40-wire IDE
cable to the hard drive just as you would for a standard PC installation. The
hard drive documentation should indicate where to put wire 1. Connect the
other end of the 40-wire IDE cable to the 40-pin connector P28 on the
ÉlanSC310 microcontroller evaluation board with wire 1 toward the ROM
sockets.
I get a "Missing Keyboard" error
message on the monitor during
boot-up.
Check that keyboard is properly
connected.
There is a problem you cannot
resolve.
