2.7 Installing DIMMs

The procedure for installing DIMMs is described below. Please follow these steps carefully. The number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, so the module can only fit in one way. DIMM modules have different pin contacts on each side, and therefore have a higher pin den- sity.

1.Make sure that the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the “open” position. i.e. The handles remain leaning outward.

2.Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket.

3.Press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the socket.

To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the module will be ejected from the socket.

2.8 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN14, CN16)

The PCM-9575 provides 2 IDE channels which you can attach up to four Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to the PCM-9575’s internal controller. The PCM-9575's IDE controller uses a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data trans- fer, PID mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/100. The secondary channel sup- ports UDMA/33 only.

2.8.1 Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. It requires one of two cables (not included in this package), depending on the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5" drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connector.

Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.

1.Connect one end of the cable to CN14 or CN16. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board (on the right side).

2.Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive.
