2.7 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN5, CN6)

The PCM-9586 provides 2 IDE channels which you can attach up to four Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to the PCM-9586’s internal controller. The PCM-9586's IDE controller uses a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data trans- fer, PIO mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/100. The secondary channel sup- ports UDMA/33 only.

2.7.1 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 CN5, CN6. 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. (See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the con- nector.)

If desired, connect a second drive as described above.

Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one drive, set it as the master.

2.8 Solid State Disk

The PCM-9586 provides a CompactFlash™ card socket and DiskOnChip socket for Solid state disk solutions.

2.8.1 CompactFlash (CN20)

The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.

This allows for better power efficiency and higher transistor density compared to its predecessors, enabling devices to achieve longer battery life while maintaining robust performance. This process technology not only contributes to lower thermal output but also enhances overall system reliability, making it suitable for a wide array of devices.

The M600 series includes multiple cores and threads, ensuring significant multitasking capabilities. This design empowers users to run multiple applications simultaneously without experiencing slowdowns, which is vital for productivity in a mobile environment. Intel's Turbo Boost technology further enhances performance by dynamically increasing clock speeds based on workload, delivering additional power when it's needed most.

Another critical aspect of the M600 series is its integrated graphics processing unit (GPU). With superior graphics capabilities, the M600 is well-suited for handling multimedia tasks, gaming, and creative applications without the need for a separate graphics card. This integration simplifies design and reduces costs for device manufacturers while providing users with an exceptional visual experience.

Security is also a significant focus of the Intel M600 series. It incorporates advanced security features such as Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX), which enables the creation of secure enclaves for sensitive data processing. This is particularly crucial for businesses and users who prioritize data protection in their mobile devices.

In summary, the Intel M600 represents a leap forward in mobile processing technology. With its powerful multi-core architecture, efficient 10nm process, robust integrated graphics, and enhanced security features, it is designed to meet the demands of modern mobile computing. Whether for business professionals, students, or casual users, the Intel M600 ensures that devices equipped with this processor can deliver excellent performance while maintaining optimal energy efficiency.
