IDE Overview

IDE is an interface scheme used to transport data in most comput-

ers. It has different specifications and requirements than SCSI. Keep

these points in mind when you install and configure IDE devices in

your computer:

■ For each IDE hard disk drive installed in your computer, drive

type and parameters must be specified in the computer’s

CMOS setup. ATAPI CD-ROM drives are not specified in the

computer’s CMOS setup.

■ If your computer has only IDE hard disk drives, or both IDE

drives and SCSI drives, it always boots from the IDE drive des-

ignated as drive C.

■ IDE hard disk drives larger than 528 MBytes may require a

disk partitioning utility for use under DOS. The utility is usu-

ally available from the drive manufacturer or the dealer.

■ If your computer has an ATAPI CD-ROM drive, be sure the

ATAPI CD-ROM driver (

adatapi.sys

) is installed by running

the Adaptec Installation Manager.

Multiple IDE Controllers

Up to four IDE devices can be installed in your computer by utiliz-

ing two IDE controllers. Keep these points in mind when installing

two IDE controllers:

■ One IDE controller must be designated as the primary and the

other as the secondary. Typically, most IDE controllers can be

designated as the primary only; however, the AMM-1525M/

525M can be designated as either the primary or secondary. See

IDE Port Address (AMM-1525M/525M Only) on page 2-7.

■ Typically, the CMOS setup of most computers can configure

only two IDE hard disk drives connected to the primary; how-

ever, some of the newer computers can configure up to four

IDE hard disk drives connected to both the primary and second-

ary. See your computer’s documentation.
