Before You Begin your Installation
The product you have purchased is designed to be
easily installed into most IBM PC or compatible
systems. Many products have large, easy-to-read
legends to allow for the easy configuring of the
product. This installation manual contains detailed
instructions. Most included software has automatic installation programs to
place the software correctly onto your computer. However, as all computers are
configured differently, you may be required to perform some basic DOS or
Windows tasks. If you are not familiar with basic DOS commands such as DIR,
CD, or EDIT, you should check your DOS manual, or seek assistance from you
local computer dealer to install the product.
How to get Technical Assistance
The dealer that you purchased this product or your
computer from is the first place you should go for
technical assistance. The dealer is usually the most
qualified source of help, and is most familiar with your
system and how this product should be installed. Many
dealers have customer service and technical support programs, with varying
levels of support offered, depending on your needs and computer knowledge.
Please contact the dealer first whenever a problem occurs.
If your Dealer Can’t Assist you
If you can’t get assistance from your dealer, the manufacturer provides varying
levels of technical assistance as summarized on the following page.

The Standard Free Technical Support number is for quick answers to specific
inquiries on product features and technical questions (call 407-241-8088; M-F, 8 am

a limited basis. If you require immediate attention or in-depth help with the
installation of the product, please call our 900-priority support number for
service. This number gives you immediate access to senior-level technicians. The
number is 900-555-4900. You will be charged $2.00 per minute. The charges will
appear on your next phone bill.
Damaged or Missing Items
We use many world-class quality assurance programs to ensure the product you
purchased is of the highest caliber. Sometimes, however, a component may be
missing from the box, or is damaged or corrupt in some way. If this happens,
immediately return the entire package to your place of purchase so you may
exchange it for a new one. Your dealer should be able to provide you with an
exchange far more quickly than by contacting us directly. If for some reason you
are unable to return the product directly to its place of purchase, refer to the
“Servicing Your Product” and “Warranty” sections in this manual for instructions.

QuickStart
• Review package contents:
• The IDE500 controller
• 34-pin diskette drive cable
• 40-pin hard drive cable
• 25-pin serial connector and bracket assembly with cable
• driver installation diskette
• Accept the default settings or configure jumpers (refer to printed
instructions on IDE board; also see diagrams on pages 8-10). Section
Four provides suggested alternate settings for illustrative purposes.
• Insert the IDE500 controller in a VL-bus (local bus) compatible
connector.
• Connect one end of the 34-pin floppy cable to your floppy drive and the
other end to the J4 connector on the IDE500. Make sure the colored
stripe (often red) goes to Pin 1.
• The IDE500 comes with two 40-pin hard drive interfaces referred to as
IDE Aand IDE B. IDE A(J1) should be used for attaching higher-speed
drives. With the included 40-pin cable, you can connect one or two
drives.
• IDE B (J7) is intended for use with slower-performing hard drives and
other devices such as CD-ROM and tape drives which are compatible
with the 40-pin IDE interface. Note that any devices attached to the IDE
B interface require a special driver which should be supplied by the
manufacturer of that device. When attaching drives to the IDE Aand
IDE B, note the jumper settings for J8 as indicated on the board.

• The J2 connector is for the hard drive activity LED.
• Attach your serial device to J6 (serial port A) and your parallel printer to
J11. Secure the serial connector and bracket assembly to a vacant rear
slot. Attach the free end of the cable to J5 (serial port B) on the IDE500.
Then attach your serial device to the external connector on the bracket
assembly.
• Attach your parallel device to the J11 interface.
• Power up your system using a DOS boot diskette.
• If you connected the IDE500 to a new hard drive, run FDISK and
FORMAT to prepare your IDE hard drive for use; otherwise, simply
power up your system and the IDE500 will automatically recognize your
existing drive.
• For your hard drive(s) to achieve optimum performance, insert the
Complete IDE500 driver diskette into your floppy drive and type
INSTALL at the DOS prompt. Follow all on-screen directions..
