Icedrake IDE Ports and IDE CD-Rom and Scsi.device

Hello,
I just received my Icedrake card and i'm really amazed about it, but I'm not able to make the CD-rom work, when it's plugged to the board the Amiga simply doesn't boot (the power led stays light green), moreover the internal SCSI.device is not seen at all so my original hard disk with all my programs and games is not usable.
Is there anything particular i have to do to make both work?
I have a EIDE4X99 elbox adapter plugged on the A1200 motherboard but I moved the CD rom cable to the Icedrake.

ok now i'm aware about it, i read that on V2 it worked but anyway, i can wait.
The main problem is that i'm not able to make the Cd-rom work properly, i have an external CD-rom box IDE that was originally plugged to the 4xIDE splitter by elbox, it worked fine, now i plugged it directly on the Vampire and the system doesn't boot at all.
Is that just a problem of IDE cable length?
Do I have to use the IDE splitter on the vampire too (and this would be weird)?
