Intel SC5275-E, C50277-001 manual Installing a 5.25-inch Removable Media Device, IDE Requirements

2 Setting Up the Chassis

IDE Requirements

If no drives are present on an IDE channel, the cable must be removed. If only one drive is installed, it should be connected at the end of the cable.

✏NOTE

To disable the IDE controller: If you plan to disable the IDE controller to reuse the interrupt for that controller, you must physically unplug the IDE cable from the board connector if a cable is present. Simply disabling the drive by configuring the SSU option does not make the interrupt available.

Installing a 5.25-inch Removable Media Device

Two 5.25-inch half-height bays provide space for tape backup, CD-ROM, or other removable media drives.

✏NOTE

Save the EMI shields: EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having drives installed in the bays or EMI shields covering the bays. When you install a drive, save the shield to reinstall in case you should later remove the drive and not reinstall one in the same bay.

1.Remove the EMI shield by using the finger-slots to grasp it and pull it straight out. Save the shield in case you later remove the peripheral.

2.Remove the plastic filler panel from the bezel.
