2.3.6Configuring the built-in IDE for the RIO module (MIC-3043A and IC-3043B series)

The MIC-3043A and MIC-3043B have IDE versions that support a removable HDD (not hot-swappable). Since there are many different HDD connectors on the market, please refer to the combination list "HDD number for type A" or "HDD number for type B" and Note 3 (below) before purchasing the IDE HDD. An illustration of the type B adaptor is shown in Figure 2-5 on the next page.

Note: (1) The IDE CD-ROM has to use the "USB to IDE" interface.

(2)There are two types of IDE adapters. The default IDE adapter is type A. Users may also find a type B adaptor included in the accessory box.

(3)AVL of HDD drive for two IDE adapter types.
