PCM-3116 Series PC/104 PCMCIA and/or
CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE Modules
There are two ways to connect the PCM-3116 series modules to your
computer - either through the PC/104 connector or through the power
and IDE connector.
Using the PC/104 Connector
If your computer has an on-board PC/104 connector, you can install
the PCM-3116 series module with one simple connection. Simply
insert the PC/104 connector pins on the bottom of the drive into a
standard PC/104 connector on your single board computer. This kind
of installation provides much flexibility for integrators of industrial
computer systems since additional PC/104 connectors can then be
installed on top of the PCM-3116 series module. Power and data
transfer is handled through the PC/104 connection. The connection of
several PC/104 connector to a single board computer enables the
integration of a multifunction, powerful computer that takes up very
little space. In addition, the PC/104 bus was designed specifically to
adapt the PC bus to the rigors of a harsh industrial environment that
includes vibration and dust.
Using the IDE and Power Connector
The PCM-3116 series modules can also be connected to a computer
using the conventional 40-pin IDE and 4-pin power connectors.
Connect an IDE cable from the drive’s IDE connector to the IDE
connector on your computer’s mainboard. This provides data transfer
between your computer and the drive. You must also connect a power
cable from your computer’s power supply to the drive.
