Installing a Hard Disk
A hard-disk adapter card for installation of a 2.5", 9.5-mm hard-disk drive is
available from MEN. The adapter is designed in such a way that standard hard disks
can easily be installed. For flexibility the adapter does not include the hard disk
itself but includes all necessary screws to mount a standard hard disk.
Please see MEN’s
website
for ordering options.
If you want to install a hard disk on the board using MEN’s adapter card, please
keep in mind that the assembly occupies the space usually used for PMC slot 0 or
for SA-Adapters on COM20 and COM21. See
Figure 2, Map of the Board – top
view, on page 20
.
The board needs only one slot in the system even with a hard disk installed. In this
case no component pins of neighboring boards may exceed the interboard
separation plane.
Perform the following steps to install a hard disk using MEN’s hard-disk
adapter card:
;
Power-down your system and remove the A14C from the system.
;
Remove the PMC module from slot 0 if installed.
;
Plug the hard disk’s connector to the adapter card, carefully pushing the con-
nectors together. Make sure to match the pins correctly.
;
Fasten the hard disk to the adapter card at the bottom side of the adapter using
the four cross-recess screws (M3x5) and suitable nuts provided with the
adapter.
