Removing CPU

When removing the CPU, pull lightly on the pegs sucuring the retention brace

and remove the CPU and retention brace at once. This may require careful firm

tugs to pull the CPU out of its slot.

5. Connecting IDE and Floppy Drives

The colored stripe on a ribbon cable should face toward the battery on the

motherboard. Make sure that Pin 1 (denoted by a red stripe) is connected so

that it is next to the power connector of the drive. The primary IDE connector

is black; the secondary IDE connector is white. In most cases, this is the

proper way of connecting your IDE cable to the hard drive. Figure 2-14 on the

next page shows the IDE cable properly connected to the motherboard.

Contact your hard disk drive manufacturer or documentation for more informa-

tion.
