Software Installation
The installation of the Ethernet and all other onboard peripheral drivers is described in detail in
the relevant Driver Kit files.
Installation of an operating system is a function of the OS software and is not addressed in this
manual. Refer to appropriate OS software documentation for installation.
Note ...
ATA-66 and ATA-100 are faster timings and require a specialized cable which
has additional grounding wires to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive
coupling. This cable will also support all legacy IDE drives.
The blue end of the ATA-100 cable must connect to the motherboard, the gray
connector to the UltraDMA/100 slave device, and the black connector to the
UltraDMA/100 master device.
Some symptoms of incorrectly installed HDDs are:
• Hard disk drives are not auto-detected: may be a Master / Slave problem or a
bad IDE cable. Contact your vendor.
• Hard Disk Drive Fail message at bootup: may be a bad cable or lack of power
going to the drive.
• No video on bootup: usually means the cable is installed backwards.
• Hard drive lights are constantly on: usually means bad IDE cable or defective
drives / motherboard. Try another HDD.
• Hard drives do not power up: check power cables and cabling. May also
result from a bad power supply or IDE drive.
Note ...
A 2.5" HDD can be directly installed only on the standard CP6000. It is not
possible to directly install a 2.5" HDD on the CP6000 for extended temperature
range (-40°C to +85°C).
Note ...
Users working with pre-configured operating system installation images for
Plug and Play compliant operating systems, for example Windows® 95/98/ME,
Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, must take into con-
sideration that the stepping and revision ID of the chipset and/or other onboard
PCI devices may change. Thus, a re-configuration of the operating system in-
stallation image deployed for a previous chipset stepping or revision ID is in
most cases required. The corresponding operating system will detect new de-
vices according to the Plug and Play configuration rules.
