ATA/IDE Disk Chip Socket (U16)
The ATA/IDE Disk Chip socket is a 32-pin socket that supports +3.3V or +5V miniature ATA/IDE flash disk chips.
The socket allows a true IDE device to be attached to the board with either a socketed or soldered connection.
Such true IDE devices are supported by all major operating systems, and do not require special drivers.
Installing and Configuring the ATA/IDE Disk Chip
To ensure proper installation and of the ATA/IDE Disk Chip, follow the following configuration steps. Note that
the first few steps must be performed before installing the Disk Chip.
1.
Before installing the ATA/IDE Disk Chip in the Disk Chip Socket (U16), verify that cpuModule is
configured for the correct Disk Chip supply voltage. The hardware default configuration is +3.3V. To use
a +5 V Disk Chip with cpuModules, contact RTD Technical Support.
2.
Next, apply power to the system, and press the delete key repeatedly to enter the BIOS setup screen.
Once in the BIOS, specify the following settings:
a.
Enable the cpuModule’s secondary IDE channel.
b.
Specify the IDE mode of the ATA/IDE Disk Chip. For more information on the supported IDE
modes, refer to
Configuring the ATA/IDE Disk Chip Socket section of this manual on page 68.
WARNING
The ATA/IDE Disk Chip socket does not support conventional SSD memory devices or
devices that install as a BIOS extension (such as the M-Systems DiskOnChip®). If such a device is installed,
the cpuModule and device will almost certainly be destroyed.
