Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the  
ASH-1233 adapter by touching a grounded metal object (such  
as the exposed metal parts on the back of your computer).  
Caution: Always handle the adapter by its edges or metal  
bracket. Do not touch the gold PCI connector or any  
components on the adapter.

Preparing Your ATA Disk Drives  
Preparing Your ATA Disk Drives  
Because setup can vary from device to device or computer to  
computer, always refer to your ATA disk drive and computer  
documentation for specific instructions.  
Note: If you refer to the ATA drive’s documentation for  
installation instructions, return to this document to continue  
with installation of the software included in your kit.  
Before you begin, ensure that you have the correct cables for the  
ATA disk drives you are installing. Refer to the disk drives’  
documentation for more information on cables.  
Setting Jumpers on ATA Disk Drives  
If you are installing two hard disk drives, set up each drive as a  
master. This is typically done by changing jumper settings on the  
drive. The master setting is the factory default setting on most ATA  
drives. Refer to your hard disk drive documentation to determine  
the correct jumper setting for master operation.  
If you are installing four hard disk drives, set up two drives as  
master and the other two as slave. Mark the master and slave drives  
so you remember which are which when you are connecting the  
cables.

Connecting Your ATA Disk Drives  
Connecting One ATA Disk Drive on a Cable  
When you connect only one ATA disk drive to a cable, that disk  
drive must be set as a master drive. (See Setting Jumpers on ATA Disk  
Drives on page 5 for more information.)  
To connect one ATA drive to the ASH-1233 adapter:  
1
Connect the IDE cable to an IDE connector on the ASH-1233  
adapter, being careful to match pin 1 of the cable to pin 1 of the  
connector.  
The cables and connectors are keyed. If the cable does not slide  
easily into the connector, do not force it. Instead, reverse the  
cable.  
Note: The stripe along the edge of the cable indicates  
Pin #1. If the cable does not slide easily into the connector,  
reverse the cable.  
2
Connect the other end of the IDE cable to a master drive, as  
shown below on the left.  
3
Repeat Step 1 and 2 to connect a second ATA disk drive to the  
second IDE connector on the ASH-1233 adapter, as shown above  
on the right. Both disk drives must be set as master drives.
