4.3 Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
You can attach one enhanced Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) hard disk drive to the panel PC's internal controller which uses a PCI local-bus interface. The advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer and allows the IDE hard drive to exceed 528 MB. The following are instructions for installation:
1.Detach and remove the rear cover and side panel.
2.There is a metal plate holding the HDD on the upper right-hand side of the shielding case. (See Fig. 4-2.) Remove the two screws on the metal plate.
3.Push the metal plate to the right and remove it from the two lugs of shielding case.
4.Place the HDD on the metal plate, and tighten the four screws from the bottom of the metal plate.
5.The HDD cable (1 x 44-pin to 1 x 44-pin) is next to the metal plate. Connect the HDD cable to the HDD. The another end of the HDD cable is connected to the PC board (J7). Make sure that the red/blue wire corresponds to Pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board. Plug the other end of the cable into the IDE hard drive, with Pin 1 on the cable corresponding to Pin 1 on the hard drive.
