IDE Hard Disk Drive and Optical Drive Connector
The CPEx GX-333-X provides 1 IDE channel which allows the connection to two Enhanced
Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or optical drives. The IDE controller is attached to
a PCI interface. The advanced IDE controller supports up to Mode 4 and ATA-66 in transfer
speed.
Connecting Hard Disk Drives
IDE bus devices are daisy-chained using a standard 40-pin IDE cable. Connection is made by
connecting one end of the cable to the IDE connector. The connector has a keyed pin which
prevents you from inserting the connector in a wrong direction. The read wire corresponds to pin
1 on the connector.
Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 on the cable
corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive connector.
Note that when connecting two IDE disk drives you will have to configure one as the master and
the other the slave. The configuration is done by setting the jumpers on the disk drives.
