Connecting the Adapter Board and the Drive

Use a 40-pin ribbon cable to connect the drive to the board. See Figure

4-8. To connect the drive to the board:

1. Insert the 40-pin cable connector into the mating connector of the adapter

board. Make sure that pin 1 of the connector matches with pin 1 on the

cable.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into the header on the drive.

When inserting this end of the cable, make sure that pin 1 of the

cable connects to pin 1 of the drive connector.

3. Secure the drive to the system chassis by using the mounting

screws, as shown in Figure 4-9.
