SATA to IDE Host Converter

Description

Serial ATA (SATA) to IDE Host Converter is a small adapter/converter, which allows users to connect any Next Generation SATA hard disk drive to the IDE/EIDE (PATA) controller. This converter allows users to take advantage of the newer SATA hard drives, low thermal, easy airflow and high performance while using the standard IDE/EIDE (PATA) controller (usually on the motherboards).

Installing the SATA to IDE Host  converter

• Remove the ARC-SATAH from its package.
• Make sure that the system is OFF.
• Open your PC and remove the SATA hard drive.
• Connect the 40-pin connector from the ARC-SATAH (marked as ARC-SATAH)
  to the host IDE/EIDE (PATA) on the motherboard. The ARC-SATAH fits only
  one way. Make sure that all pins are aligned
• Connect one end of the power cable (provided) to the 4-pin power connector
  of the ARC-SATAH and the other end to a free power cable from the PC.
• Connect one end of the SATA cable to the SATA connector of the ARC-SATAH
  (marked as DEVICE) and the other end to the SATA hard drive.
• Reinstall the SATA hard drive and reassemble your PC.
