Hello

I'm planning to install a 10GByte 2.5" ATA-Drive on the Routerboard 230.
So far I found the 44-Pin connector. Unfortunately, I didn't find a place to fix the hard drive.

I looked at the FAQ and the manual but I didn't find the Answer. The screws out of the PC-CARD-Slots didn't fit either.

The RouterBoard was delivered built into a big black indoor case.

Where is the ATA-drive supposed to be fixed? Is it supposed to be fixed anyway? You might give me an idea. That would be great!

Thanks
Susanne

currently there is no special place where to attach the 2.5"drive, but we will consider the possibility to add this to the future case designs.

The routerboard is generally expected to be used with a CF module rather than a 2.5" drive, so mounting support tends to be up to the user.

Double-sided tape should work and be firm enough...I have several customers using that in outdoor containers. The big indoor case should have enough mounting space on the side.top/bottom somewhere...
