IMPORTANT

HA (host adapter) consists of address decoder, driver, and receiver. ATA is an abbreviation of "AT attachment". The disk drive is conformed to the ATA-5 interface.

At high speed data transfer (PIO mode 3, mode 4, DMA mode 2, ultra DMA mode 4 or ultra DMA mode 5), occurrence of ringing or crosstalk of the signal lines (AT bus) between the HA and the disk drive may be a great cause of the obstruction of system reliability. Thus, it is necessary that the capacitance of the signal lines including the HA and cable does not exceed the ATA-3, ATA-4 and ATA-5 standard, and the cable length between the HA and the disk drive should be as short as possible.
