IDE Interface (J6)
The IDE device signals are provided through the standard 44-pin, 2mm connector (J6).
The IDE interface supports the following features:
• Master mode PCI supporting Enhanced IDE devices
• Supports two EIDE devices
• Full scatter-gather capability
• Supports ATAPI compliant devices including DVD
• Supports IDE native and ATA compatibility modes
Table 3-9 gives the signals for the 44-pins of the IDE 2mm header.

19 GND Digital Ground
20 Key/GND Key pin plug/Ground
21 PDRQ
DMA Request – Used for DMA transfers between host and drive (direction of
transfer controlled by PIOR* and PIOW*). Also used in an asynchronous mode
with PDACK*. Drive asserts PIRQ when ready to transfer or receive data.
22 GND Digital Ground
23 PIOW* Drive I/O Write – Strobe signal for write functions. Negative edge enables data
from a register or data port of the drive onto the host data bus. Positive edge
latches data at the host.
24 GND Digital Ground
