Power connection. The ST9144 family drives use +5 Volts DC power supplied to the drive through the interface connector. Refer to the “44-Pin AT Interface Connector Assign- ment” table for specific pin assignments.

Caution. The drive does not use +12 Volts DC power. Make sure only +5 Volts DC is being supplied to the drive, as specified in the “44-Pin AT Interface Connector Assignment” table.

Attach AT interface cable. Use a 44-pin AT interface connec- tor cable with two rows of 22 female contacts on 0.079 inch (2 mm) centers. Pin 20 has been removed on the connector for keying purposes. A dual-drive system requires a 44-pin AT interface daisy-chain cable. Most cables have a stripe down one side to designate Pin 1.

Make sure Pin 1 on the interface cable connector is aligned to Pin 1 on the drive interface connector and Pin 1 on the host connector. The maximum cable length is 18 inches (457 mm).
