It is recommended that the mating connector be blocked at pin 27 using a special plastic key (the
key can be ordered from the connector manufacturer). This prevents possible damage to the disk

The FFD 3.5” IDE Plus should be connected using a 40-pin I/O cable connector with a
2.54 mm pitch interface connector.
As with the FFD 2.5” IDE Plus, it is recommended that the mating connector be blocked at pin
27 using a special plastic key (the key can be ordered from the connector manufacturer). This
