Connecting a hard disk or CD drive
The Matrox 4Sight-M motherboard provides a primary ATA 44-pin connector
and a secondary ATA 40-pin connector, each of which allows you to connect one
or two IDE devices. The location of the ATA connectors are shown in the diagram
below:
The following sections outline the procedure to be followed when connecting IDE
devices to your unit.
Connecting devices with an ATA 44-pin connector
You can connect one IDE device that has an ATA 44-pin connector (such as 2.5
inch hard disk) to the ATA 44-pin internal connector. To do so, use a flat ribbon
cable with a 44-pin, IDC, female connector on each side.
If you need to connect two ATA 44-pin connector, IDE devices to a single
ATA 44-pin connector, you will have to make a custom cable. For pinout
information, refer to the Technical reference appendis.
