IDE Disk Drive and CDROM Connector
The WAFER-LX provides 1 IDE channel which allows the connection to two Enhanced Integrated
Device Electronics hard disk drives or CD/DVD-ROM. The IDE controller is attached to a PCI
interface. The advanced IDE controller supports PIO mode 3, mode 4 and up to UDMA/100 in
transfer speed.
Connecting Hard Disk Drives
IDE bus devices are daisy-chained using a standard 44-pin IDE cable. Connection is made by
connecting one end of the cable to the CN30 IDE connector. The connector has a keyed pin
which prevents you from inserting the connector in a wrong direction. The read wire corresponds
to pin 1 on the connector.
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.
Note that when connecting two IDE disk drives you will have to configure one as the master and
the other the slave. The configuration is done by setting the jumpers on the disk drives.
