Hardware Installation

No specific setup is needed for your new PCI card. Simply
install the card following the standard procedures for any
PCI card. General instructions for installing the card are
provided below, since the design of computer cases and
motherboards vary. Refer to your computer’s reference
manual for further information, if needed.

Caution: Static Electricity Discharge may permanently
damage your system. To avoid possible static electricity
discharge during the installation, please follow the
guidelines below:

• Discharge any static electricity build up in your body

by touching a large grounded metal surface or the
computer’s case (if plugged in), for a few seconds.

• During the installation, avoid any contact with internal

parts. Handle cards only by their external edges.

1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any other
connected peripheral devices.

2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the computer.

3. Remove your computer’s cover.

4. Remove the slot bracket from an available 32-bit PCI slot.

5. To install the card, carefully align the card's bus connector
with the selected PCI slot bus connector on the
motherboard. Push the board down firmly, but gently,
until it is well seated.

6. Replace the slot bracket's holding screw to secure the
card.

7. Replace the computer cover and reconnect the power
cord.

Device Connection

Note Only the 40-pin/80-wire Ultra ATA 100 cable can
achieve hard disk UDMA 100 performance. Also, we
suggest not to connect an UltraATA 100 (hard disk) with
a slower IDE/EIDE devices (such as CD-ROM or tape
backup drive) on the same channel.

1. If you plan to install two hard disk drives on the IDE1
channel, make sure you configure the drives as a Master
and Slave according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The same rule must be followed for connecting hard disk
drives to the IDE2 channel.

2. Attach one end of the included UltraATA 100 cable to the
IDE1 connector on the board. Make sure pin 1 on the
cable (indicated by the colored stripe) matches pin 1 on
the IDE1 connector.

3. Install the hard disk drive to your computer. Attach the
end connector of the UltraATA 100 cable to the connector
on the hard disk drive. Make certain that pin 1 on the
cable (indicated by the colored stripe) matches pin 1 on
the hard disk drive’s connector.

Note The ribbon cable has two connectors. If you have
one hard disk drive, connect it to the end connector of
cable (Drive C). If you have a second hard disk drive,
connect it to the middle connector of cable (Drive D).
