The ICP SATA/PATA Adapter

The ICP SATA/PATA Adapter

1

1.1 Product Description

The ICP SATA/PATA Adapter is a plug-in adapter for PATA hard disk drives (parallel
ATA, sometimes called UDMA or IDE hard disk drives). It contains a so-called I/O
translator which translates the PATA signals of a hard disk drive into SATA (Serial ATA).

Note:

The ICP SATA/PATA Adapter is designed for the connection to an ICP SATA RAID
Controller alone. It supports only PATA hard disk drives and no other PATA devices like
CD-ROM drives or CD-RW drives.

1.2 Scope of Delivery

Together with the ICP SATA/PATA Adapter you receive a so called Y-power cable which
allows to supply both the ICP SATA/PATA Adapter and an appropriate PATA hard disk
with power from your computers power supply using a standard 4-pin power connection.
