Configuration
Usually IDE notebook hard disks are always operated as „Master" since only one device is
connected to a 44 pole cable.
If two IDE devices are operated on one IDE cable, one of devices has to be „Master" and the
other one „Slave".
Motherboard Pin 1
• The left pin, called „Mainboard" has to be plugged into the respective connector of your main
board. Usually this plug is remoted to the other two plugs.
• Connect the first IDE device (preferably a hard disk) to the „Master" connector. This has to be
set to „Master" (imprint on the IDE device, like e.g. „MA").
• If applicable, a second hard disk (or a CD/DVD drive) can be connected to the „Slave"
connector. This device must be set as the slave drive („SL").
If the IDE devices dispose of the setting „Cable Select" („CS") it must only be used, if
the controller or the IDE cable is suitable. If in doubt, just set the two IDE devices to
„Master" („MA") and „Slave" („SL"), as described above.
For the settings „Master" and „Slave" there is a jumper on the converter.

Connection
• Turn off all devices prior to installation and disconnect the power supply (unplug the mains
plug, remove accumulator from the notebook etc.).
• If not done yet, set the „Master"/"Slave" jumper correctly on the converter. If only one IDE
device is available at the cable, please set it to „Master". Please observe the imprint on the
board.
• Plug the converter to the SATA hard disk or SATA-SSD. By way of the differently formed plugs,
the alignement is indicated.
The converter ist not suitable to connect 8.9cm/3.5"-Desktop-hard disks or 5.25"-CD-
/DVD-drives, since they consume too much current. Furthermore such devices require
an operating voltage of 5V= and 12V=. The converter is incapable of providing this, it
only supplies 5V= for notebook hard disks.
• Connect the 44 pole connector of the converter to the 44 pole IDE cable, and the controller,
respectively.
Observe the correct orientation of the 44 pole connector. Pin 1 on the converter is on the side
of the jumper, see the following image:
missing pin
It is normal that there is a missing pin on the connector used to prevent twisting of the cable if
the cable is specially equipped.
Observe the correct connection of the cable (connect Pin 1 always to Pin 1).
If the cable is fitted wrongly (e.g. misplaced by one pin or twisted 180°) not only the converter,
but the connected hard disk and the controller (e.g. main board), too, will be damaged. If in doubt
let the connection or installation be made by a specialist/service center.
Mount the converter or the hard disk in a way that the board does not touch any other metallic
item, part of the housing or the like. Recheck if the cable is correctly fitted to the 44 pole terminal
or if the converter correctly fits on the 44 pole connector.
Before using the connected hard disk/SSD, it has to be partitioned and formatted. Please observe
the hard disk/SSD manuel for this. When, using Windows XP/Vista, the partitioning and formatting
can be done easily via „Computer Administration" to be found in the Windows Control Panel.
For the operation of the converter no driver is necessary. The controller to which the converter
and the SATA-HDD/-SDD is connected only recognises a conventional IDE hard disk.
