User’s Manual Introduction Thank you for buying one of our PCMCIA or CompactFlash™ ATA to IDE drives or modules. ATA PCMCIA drives ATA PCMCIA cards have long been used in notebook computers for data storage and information sharing. PCMCIA drives are compact and durable and provide an inexpensive way to add hard drive capacity to a notebook computer. Our ATA to IDE drives allow a desktop computer system to use PCMCIA ATA cards to facilitate information sharing between notebook and desktop computer systems.
PCMCIA/CompactFlash ™ ATA to IDE Drives and Modules CompactFlash cards use nonvolatile flash technology and, like mechanical disk drives, can retain data without a battery or other electrical source. However, CompactFlash cards are much more durable than mechanical disk drives and can withstand environments of substantial vibration. CompactFlash devices provide reliable operation in a temperature range of -25° C to +75° C compared with a range of +5° C to +55° C for rotating drives.
User’s Manual Product Overview There are five models in our product series. Three are ATA to IDE drives, one is a CompactFlash to IDE drive and one is a combination PC/104 PCMCIA/CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE Module. ATA to IDE Drives The ATA to IDE drives allow Type I/II/III ATA Flash and ATA HDD PCMCIA cards to be accessed by a standard desktop computer. The PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE drive and the PCM-3116PC/R PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE card are very similar, with the former being able to be mounted in a 3.
PCMCIA/CompactFlash ™ ATA to IDE Drives and Modules PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE Drive (front-mounted) The PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE drive is a PCMCIA card drive that enables any PC compatible computer with an IDE controller to read and write PCMCIA ATA Flash, ATA hard disk drive and CompactFlash cards. It automatically converts the signal from the 68-pin PCMCIA connector to a 40-pin IDE connector thus allowing a computer’s BIOS to access a PCMCIA card in the same manner as an IDE drive.

PCMCIA/CompactFlash ™ ATA to IDE Drives and Modules PCM-3116 PC/104 PCMCIA and/or CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE Modules The PCM-3116 family of drives bring the covenience of PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards to industrial computer systems. PC/104 is a version of the standard PC bus designed specifically for the particular challenges of using PC technology in industrial and embedded computer systems. All PCM-3116 models conform to the standard PC/104 form factor.
User’s Manual PCM-3116 PC/104 PCMCIA/CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE Module The PCM-3116 is a PC/104 form-factor drive that allows computers with an IDE controller to read and write both PCMCIA ATA Flash/ ATA hard disk cards and CompactFlash cards. The module converts the 68-pin PCMCIA signal and the 50-pin CompactFlash signal to a 40-pin IDE signal. Your computer’s system BIOS will access the PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards in the same manner as any other IDE drive.
PCMCIA/CompactFlash ™ ATA to IDE Drives and Modules PCM-3116CF PC/104 CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE Module The PCM-3116CF is a PC/104 form factor drive that allows computers with an IDE controller to read and write CompactFlash cards. The module converts the 50-pin CompactFlash signal to a 40-pin IDE signal. Your computer’s system BIOS will access the CompactFlash card in the same manner as any other IDE drive. Power is provided through a 4-pin compact power connector.

PCMCIA/CompactFlash ™ ATA to IDE Drives and Modules Hardware Installation All of the PCMCIA/CompactFlash ATA to IDE drives and modules can be installed into a computer within five minutes. The general procedure is to mount the drive within your computer and connect cables to enable power and data transfer to and from your device. Jumper Settings Before attempting to install your drive you may have to set jumpers on the drive unit.
User’s Manual Jumpers for hard disk drives and CD-ROM disc drives are normally found on the end of the drive between the power and IDE connector. Jumper settings for these devices can be found in the documentation that came with the device or sometimes on labels on the device. PCM-3116PC/F PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE Drive (front-mounted) 1 Turn off your computer. 2 Remove the case from your computer. Some computer cases have a one piece design that requires the removal of screws on the rear of your computer.
PCMCIA/CompactFlash ™ ATA to IDE Drives and Modules PCM-3116PC/R PCMCIA (ATA) to IDE card (rear- mounted) 1 Turn off your computer. 2 Remove the case from your computer. Some computer cases have a one piece design that requires the removal of screws on the rear of your computer. ATX cases can be opened by first removing the front plate and then unscrewing screws to remove the side panels. If you require further information about your computer, please consult your computer’s documentation.
User’s Manual PCM-3116 Series PC/104 PCMCIA and/or CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE Modules There are two ways to connect the PCM-3116 series modules to your computer - either through the PC/104 connector or through the power and IDE connector. Using the PC/104 Connector If your computer has an on-board PC/104 connector, you can install the PCM-3116 series module with one simple connection.
PCMCIA/CompactFlash ™ ATA to IDE Drives and Modules BIOS Setup You must make changes to your system BIOS before you can use the PCMCIA/CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE drive or module. This procedure is to enable your computer to work with the new drive. You will be able to use the drive in the same manner as any other floppy disk, hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is connected to your system after making changes to your system’s BIOS.
