9.SATA-to-IDE Converter Board

This chapter describes the Server Platform SR4850HW4/SR6850HW4 SATA-to-IDE Converter Board to support an optical drive. This board connects a JAE Slimline peripheral 50-pin Slimline Form Factor (SFF) IDE connector on an optical drive to a 7-position SATA signal connector. The power for the optical drive and the Converter Board is delivered through a 4-pin mini-power connector. The SATA-to-IDE Converter Board will be removed when a SATA optical device has been qualified for the system.

Please refer to the Tested Hardware Operating System List (THOL) for more information on the specific optical drives Intel has validated in the platform. DVD-ROM drives will be qualified for the platform, but since this is an enterprise server, DVD video playback will not be validated.
