2.5 Installing SO-DIMMs
The procedures for installing SODIMMs are described below. Please fol-
low these steps carefully. You can install SDRAM memory modules
using 200-pin SODIMMs (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules).
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.
2. Tilt the SODIMM card just above the board and slide it into the hous-
ing card slot.
3. Push the module into the socket until the module gently snaps in. There
should only be a slight insertion force to engage the module into the con-
tacts. Make sure that the module and the housing are aligned and locked
in place.
2.6 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN11)
The board provides 1 IDE channel which you can attach up to two
Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to
the board’s internal controller. Its IDE controller uses a PCI interface.
This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer, PIO mode 3,
mode 4 and up to UDMA 33/66.
2.6.1 Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. This package includes
One 44 PIN IDE cable that can connect to 1.8" and 2.5" drives.
1. Connect one end of the cable to Hard Drive connector. Make sure
that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector,
which is labeled on the board (on the right side).
2. 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.
(See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the con-
nector.)
If desired, connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the
cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and
one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one
drive, set it as the master.
