4.3 Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
You can attach one enhanced Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) hard
disk drive to the panel PC's internal controller which uses a PCI local-bus
interface. The advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer and
allows the IDE hard drive to exceed 528 MB. The following are instructions
for installation:
1. Detach and remove the rear cover and side panel.
2. There is a metal plate holding the HDD on the upper right-hand side of
the shielding case. (See Fig. 4-2.) Remove the two screws on the metal
plate.
3. Push the metal plate to the right and remove it from the two lugs of
shielding case.
4. Place the HDD on the metal plate, and tighten the four screws from the
bottom of the metal plate.
5. The HDD cable (1 x 44-pin to 1 x 44-pin) is next to the metal plate.
Connect the HDD cable to the HDD. The another end of the HDD
cable is connected to the PC board (J7). Make sure that the red/blue
wire corresponds to Pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the
board. Plug the other end of the cable into the IDE hard drive, with Pin
1 on the cable corresponding to Pin 1 on the hard drive.
