ATA Controller into standard DAE?
Hi all,
we're running a CX700 with Flare 26.
We have a huge bunch of ATA disks which we want to use, but don't have a DAE2-ATA handy but some unused FC DAEs. And we could get some used ATA controllers for a little money.
Can I simply swap the original controllers (p/n 005348489) with ATA controllers (p/n 118032227) in an existing DAE (p/n 005047998) to make it work with ATA drives?
Thanks in advance,
-Chris

No. The ATA DAE is wired internally different than the FC DAE. To use the ATA disks, you need the DAE-ATA.

Thanks, Glen.
I'll see to get a real ATA DAE.
