3. INSTALLATION
3.1 PROCEDURE
3.1.1 ESD PRECAUTIONS
Static electricity kills... electronics! Before handling the AT2515, please observe the following
precautions to avoid ESD damage to the unit:
•
Keep the drive in its shielded bag until ready to install.
•
Ground yourself by touching a grounded chassis frame of the computer, or use a grounded
wrist strap before and during the installation process.
•
Do not touch the exposed drive electronics or connectors. Always handle the drive by the
edges or mounting rails.
3.1.2 CONFIGURATION
Configure the drive using the jumper diagrams given in Section 3.2. The drive is shipped
configured for a single drive system or as the master in a two-drive system. Change the
configuration as required. Never attempt to change the jumpers while the drive is plugged in
or power is applied.
3.1.3 CONNECTOR
The drive may be interfaced directly to a standard 2.5” 2mm IDE socket connector or a
standard 2mm, 44-pin IDE ribbon cable. A separate power cable is not required since the
2mm socket or ribbon cable connector supplies both signals and power. See drawing below
for pin 1 location. Care should be taken when installing the AT2515 into the system, as
misalignment can permanently damage the drive interface connector or electronics.
