Issues with newly installed IDE hard drive on e6400 Ultra

Postby braincandy » Fri Oct 30, 2009 2:35 am

Hi,

I just installed a Quantum QML20000LD-A Fireball hd which is on E-mu's list of compatible hard drives. However, it's not showing up on the Ultra. I followed the steps, used the proper connections via the install kit, and it's just not showing up as a drive. Is there some sort of common newbie mistake I'm making here?

Did you use the right power connector?

The Emu motherboard connector has the 5V and 12V lines a bit different to a normal setup -

These are not the same as standard PC ones.....CN13 on the motherboard is labelled - see how that matches what you've connected.

Recommendation: Check the voltages to ensure that they match what the drive is going to expect at each Pin.

Yes, I used the installation kit recommended on E-mu's support page:

I followed the instructions and made sure I made the right connections twice.

I hope it's only a bum drive and not something wrong with the Ultra. Thanks for the reply.

I replaced the hd with another Quantum Fireball on E-mu's list and it powers up just find. However it's not recognized by the e6400. From what I read the mounting command is only for SCIS devices. Is there any way to run a test or to make sure that the HD is recognized?

Have any other IDE hard drive models been tried?
Although it is an older interface, an IDE hard drive can be useful on some computers.

The IDe drives only work as Master.

Make sure the jumpers on the drive are NOT set to Slave or Cable Select (CS), but to Master.
