2.3 Installing SO-DIMMs
The procedure for installing SO-DIMMs is described below. Please fol-
low these steps carefully. The number of pins are different on either side 
of the breaks, so the module can only fit in one way. SO-DIMMs modules 
have different pin contacts on each side, and therefore have a higher pin 
density.
1. Make sure that the two handles of the SO-DIMMs socket are in the 
“open” position. i.e. The handles remain leaning outward.
2. Slowly slide the SO-DIMMs module along the plastic guides on 
both ends of the socket.
3. Press the SO-DIMMs module right down into the socket, until you 
hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically 
locked the memory module into the correct position of the socket.
To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the 
module will be ejected from the socket.
2.4 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN5) 
The PCM-3386 provides 1 IDE channel to which you can attach up to 
two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM 
to the PCM-3386’s internal controller. The PCM-3386's IDE controller 
uses a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data 
transfer, PIO mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/33. 
2.4.1 Connecting the hard drive
It requires one of two cables (not included in this package), depending on 
the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-
cable connector. 3.5" drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connector.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.
1. Connect one end of the cable to CN5. Make sure that the red (or 
blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled 
on the board (on the right side).
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive, 
with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. 
(See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the con-
nector.)
