5.3 Interface Connectors  
5.3.1 FFD 2.5” IDE Plus  
The FFD 2.5” IDE Plus has a 2.00 mm pitch interface connector located on the rear panel. The  
DC power and IDE bus are input through a non-shielded 50-pin flat cable.  
Figure 6: FFD 2.5” IDE Plus Interface Connector  
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  
by connecting the cable with a 180º rotation.  
5.3.2 FFD 3.5” IDE Plus  
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  
prevents possible damage to the disk by connecting the cable with a 180º rotation.  
5.4 IDE Cable  
The cable length should not exceed 18 inches.

INSTALLATION  
6.1 System Requirements  
In order to install the IDE Plus in your system, ensure that you have the following items:  
System mounting hardware  
44-pin ribbon IDE cable for FFD 2.5” IDE Plus, or 40-pin cable for FFD 3.5” IDE Plus  
6.2 FFD IDE Plus Configuration  
Before mounting the drive into the system drive bay, you must first configure the IDE Plus by  
setting the address jumper to comply with your system requirements. See Section 5 for details.  
6.3 FFD IDE Plus Installation  
The IDE Plus can be installed in the system in any mounting position. Unlike rotating disks that  
have an axis of rotation, the IDE Plus is not susceptible to damage due to its orientation.  
Note: It is not necessary to perform a low-level format on the IDE Plus. The drive is shipped  
low-level formatted and ready for use.  
6.3.1 Installing the FFD IDE Plus in a PC Environment  
To install the IDE Plus:  
1. Power down the PC and remove the cover.  
2. Configure the IDE Plus jumper settings according to the information provided in  
3. Connect a cable between the IDE Plus and the host. Make sure to orient the cable so that  
pin 1 of the IDE Plus is connected to pin 1 of the host adapter.  
4. Mount the IDE Plus into a free drive bay.  
5. Close the PC cover and power on the PC.  
6. The host BIOS sign-on message will appear and display a key sequence to enter the BIOS  
setup. Set up the BIOS to recognize the IDE Plus (refer to the BIOS documentation for the  
disk installation procedure).  
You are now ready to use the IDE Plus. If you encounter any problems, refer to Section 8 for  
troubleshooting information.  
6.3.2 Using the FFD IDE Plus in an MS-DOS-Based Platform  
After installing the IDE Plus (as described in Section 6.3), it must be installed as a disk drive  
under DOS. Run the DOS commands listed below and follow the instructions displayed for each  
command. For more information regarding the DOS commands, refer to your DOS manual.

2. Run the DOS FORMAT command to high-level format the IDE Plus.  
3. If you want the IDE Plus to be a bootable drive, run the DOS SYS command and change its  
partition to active.

DRIVE PARAMETERS  
Most IDE device drivers can automatically detect the total number of sectors in the IDE Plus,  
using the IDENTIFY DRIVE command, and configure them accordingly. However, some older  
device drivers need to obtain the drive geometry parameters manually. The physical drive  
parameters are just a convention and have no effect on the way data is stored within the  
IDE Plus.
