6. Locate the 44-pin IDE cable in the ReadyBox hardware kit and prepare it for connection to the
ReadyBoard IDE connector, as shown in Figure 3-9.
NOTE Ampro recommends two extra folds in the IDE cable, but this is not
required. This allows the IDE cable to be moved in and out of the
tray space more easily.
The IDE cable must be folded with a sharp curve at the end for connection to the ReadyBoard
IDE connector with a 90° fold added to the cable, allowing it to lay in the HDD tray. After it is
connected to the ReadyBoard connector, the free end of the IDE cable is passed out through the
HDD tray opening. From there it can be connected to the HDD (2 ½”) and will retract more
easily into the HDD tray opening because of the folded portions of the IDE cable.
CAUTION To prevent damage to the static sensitive components on the ReadyBoard, ensure
you follow good Electrostatic Discharge principles. Components on the
ReadyBoard are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily damaged by
improper handling. Do the following when handling the ReadyBoard:
Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat.
Before you handle the ReadyBoard, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface to
discharge any static electricity.
