IDE Interface 28

14. IDE Interface
The T-MOPSlcdSA features one EIDE interface (Ultra DMA 33 mode) that can drive two hard disks.
When two devices share a single adapter, they are connected in a master/slave, daisy-chain
configuration. If only one drive is in the system, you must set it as the master.
14.1 Connector
The IDE interface is available through Connector J8 (44 pins). This interface is designed in 2mm
grid for optimal connectivity to a 2.5” hard disk. To find the location of this connector on the T-
MOPSlcdSA board, please see the chapter “Connector Locations”.
There are several accessories available for IDE connectivity. For adapter cable information see the
section “Connector Functions and Interface Cables”.
You can plug a Kontron chipDISK, which is an IDE hard disk that uses Flash technology, into the IDE
interface and mechanically mount it by using a mini-spacer on the chipDISK hole. You also can use
a chipDISK adapter (chipDISK-ADA1, Part Number 96004-0000-00-0) or compact Flash adapter
(CFC-ADA1, Part Number 96004-0000-00-2) for more disk support.
