Connecting a hard disk drive
The GEMINI provides an Integrated Serial ATA Host Controller, enabling up to two SATA
devices to be connected. There is also a single secondary IDE controller, enabling up to
two IDE devices to be connected. Down to one only if the CF socket is in use.
When connecting SATA peripherals to the GEMINI, the BIOS automatically sets the
following configuration:
Primary Master: Device connected to the onboard connector SATA1.
Primary Slave: Device connected to the onboard connector SATA2.
Secondary Master: Device connected the IDE port and set-up as a MASTER.
Secondary Slave: Device connected the IDE port and set-up as a SLAVE.
The BIOS automatically detects the hard disk drive(s) during the POST processes and
configures the hardware correctly. The BIOS allows either a master or slave device to be
the boot device.
Connecting a CD-ROM (IDE Type)
If a CD-ROM drive is required in the system, it may be connected in place of a secondary
drive (as detailed above). The CD-ROM should be configured as a ‘master’ device.
Drivers are required to support a CD-ROM drive under DOS. If a bootable CD is inserted
in the drive, the BIOS can be configured to automatically boot from this CD.
