Section 2. Installing the PX-716A Internal ATAPI Drive

18 PX-716 Installation and Users Manual

If there are two IDE cables, one is for the primary IDE bus and the other

is for the secondary bus.

Before you install your PX-716A, your computer’s IDE configuration is

usually one of the following:

• Configuration A: Hard disks connected as Master and Slave devices

on primary IDE port; DVD or CD-ROM drive connected as the

Master device on secondary IDE port.

• Configuration B: Hard disk connected as Master device and DVD

or CD-ROM drive connected as Slave on the primary IDE port;

nothing connected to secondary IDE port.

• Configuration C: Hard disk connected as Master device on primary

IDE port; nothing connected to secondary IDE port.

• Configuration D: System uses special “Cable Select” cables; all

devices are jumpered for Cable Select.

Inspect Your Computer’s Cables

To ensure that it can write at maximum rated speed (16X), you should

make sure the PX-716A is connected to an 80-conductor IDE/ATA flat

ribbon cable. If you have an older computer, it may still be equipped

with a 40-conductor cable.

NOTE: Although the newer IDE/ATA cable has 80 conductors (wires), its

connectors have only 40 pins, so it’s physically interchangeable with the

older cable. And in fact, your PX-716A drive may work fine with a 40-

conductor cable. But to ensure writing at maximum speed, it’s best to use

the newer 80-conductor cable, such as the one provided by Plextor. The

80-conductor cable cancels interference much better than the older

model, allowing faster data transfers.

CAUTION: The length of any IDE cable cannot exceed 18 inches.
