Jumpers for hard disk drives and CD-ROM disc drives are normally
found on the end of the drive between the power and IDE connector.
Jumper settings for these devices can be found in the documentation
that came with the device or sometimes on labels on the device.

PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE Drive (front-mounted)

1 Turn off your computer.

2 Remove the case from your computer. Some computer cases

have a one piece design that requires the removal of screws on
the rear of your computer. ATX cases can be opened by first
removing the front plate and then unscrewing screws to remove
the side panels. If you require further information about your
computer, please consult your computer’s documentation.

3 Remove the protective faceplate that covers a free 3.5” disk

drive bay in your computer. The faceplate is held in place by two
plastic clips. Simply snap the faceplate out of its bracket.

4 Insert the PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE drive into the

computer’s 3.5” disk drive bay. Secure the drive by affixing four
screws to the bay’s rails.

5 Connect a 40-pin IDE cable from the ATA to IDE drive’s IDE

connector and then to the IDE connector on the mainboard.
Make sure that the cable’s red edge is connected to pin 1 on
each of the connectors.

6 Connect a power cable from your computer’s power supply to

the power connector on the ATA to IDE drive. Owing to the
shape of the cable and connector, it is impossible to plug in this
cable incorrectly.

7 Replace the case on your computer.
