Operating instructions
SATA-IDE converter
Item no. 1628894
Intended use
The product is intended for installation in a PC-compatible computer and is used there for connection of a
SATA device (e.g. SATA hard desk) to the conventional IDE bus (40 or 80-pole flat cable).
This means that a device with the modern SATA connection can be operated on a standard IDE controller.
It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bathrooms, must be
avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product
for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can
cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc. Read the instructions carefully and keep them.
Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.
This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements. All company names and

Explanation of symbols
The lightning symbol inside a triangle is used when there is a potential risk of personal injury,
such as electric shock.
An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important instructions in this operating manual that
absolutely have to be observed.
The arrow symbol indicates specific tips and advice on operation.
Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information.
If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this
manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property.
Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing
material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it
from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected
to the product.
• If you have no specialist knowledge of installation procedures, please arrange for installation
to be carried out by a specialist or a suitable specialist shop. Incorrect installation can cause
damage both to the converter and also to your computer and all connected devices.
• Proceed with caution. Danger to life! Switch off the computer in which the converter is to be
installed and all connected devices and disconnect all devices from the mains voltage; pull out
the mains plug! It is not sufficient just to switch off the on/off switch!
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a
qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our
technical support service or other technical personnel.
Operating controls
J2
J1
J1
Power connection (for 3.5" plug)
J2
40-pin Connect IDE connection through flat cable with IDE controller e.g. to motherboard (one pin is
missing. It is used to show that a correspondingly equipped flat cable has to be plugged on correctly),
pin 1 of the flat cable is normally marked in colour.
J3
Four two-pin headers, for "Master", "Slave", "Cable" (= "Cable Select") and ACD
Installation
• Open the housing of your computer and remove the cover carefully.
• The SATA IDE converter should be configured as either "Master" or "Slave". Plug the jumper on either
"Master" or "Slave" both pins.
The "Cable" setting (="Cable Select") is only possible when your IDE controller is appropriately set up
(observe the operating instructions of your IDE controller or main board). For compatibility issues with DVD
drives/burners: Insert an additional jumper (not supplied) on the two "ACD" pins.
• Plug the converter on to the SATA device (SATA hard disk). So that the circuit board is fastened firmly
to the SATA device, it is meaningful to attach the circuit board to the SATA device with a piece of
double-sided adhesive tape. Otherwise it can occur later that the rigid flat cable detaches the converter
from the hard disc.
• Now connect the IDE flat cable to the connection "J2" of the converter. Pay attention to correct polarity
thereby. Pin 1 on the circuit board is marked; pin 1 of the flat cable is normally marked with a coloured strip.
In addition, a pin is missing on the 40-pole connection "J2". This is not a production fault but is supposed
to prevent any incorrect connection when using the appropriate IDE cable (one hole of the plug is closed).
Pay attention to the correct position on the cable when connecting the IDE devices:
Mainboard
With 80-pole cables (ATA66/100/133 cable), the motherboard plug is usually blue, the slave plug is grey
and the master plug black.
If an IDE device is to be plugged on to the cable, this has to be set as "Master".
• Connect the power connection "J1" to a 3.5" power plug of your PC power unit.
• Check that the cables are laid in such a manner that the converter is not detached by the rigid flat cable
from the SATA hard disk. Secure the circuit board of the converter if necessary with a piece of double-sided
adhesive tape or a drop of hot-melted adhesive.
• Then, close the housing of your computer.
• Connect your computer and monitor to the mains voltage again and switch on all devices.
• If your computer does not start correctly, switch it off immediately and check all settings and cable
connections.
Before opening the PC again, disconnect the PC from the mains voltage!
Installing drivers
• As the converter only exchanges the signals between SATA and a conventional 40-pole IDE bus, Windows
does not recognise any new hardware.
• The SATA device (e.g. a SATA hard disk) "looks" for the computer as though it were a conventional IDE
hard desk with a 40-pin connection.
Tips & notes
• Set the jumper for "Master", Slave" and "Cable" correctly. Normally, either "Master" or "Slave" setup is to
be used, the "Cable" setup (= "Cable Select") is only admissible for certain IDE controllers or main boards.
• Check in BIOS/SETUP as to whether the hard disk is recognised correctly.
• For large hard discs (>137GByte), a suitable operating system has to be used (e.g. Windows XP Service
Pack 2 or Windows Vista). Windows 9x/ME is not normally in a position to deal with such big hard disks.
Partitioning them into small parts does not help either.
• Plug the converter only on to the SATA device (SATA hard disk).
The converter may not be plugged on to a SATA port e.g. on to the motherboard!
Disposal
