Intelligent Device Electronics (IDE) Hard Drive - 31

Intelligent Device Electronics (IDE)
Hard Drive

The internal hard drive uses IDE technology, commonly used

in DOS-compatible systems, and the standard ATA-2 or IDE

interface. The hard drive has a standard 40-pin ATA

connector, and a separate 4-pin power connector.

The IDE hard drive functions the same as a typical SCSI hard

drive. You must replace IDE drives like for like. The IDE

drive does not affect SCSI ID selections or SCSI termination

schemes. Six external SCSI devices may be daisy-chained

through the external SCSI port.
