Connecting the Cables

To connect the drive to the computer, you need to connect two

cables: a drive ribbon cable and a power supply cable. The

steps below describe how to connect these cables to the drive.

If you are installing a diskette drive, follow step 1 and then skip

to step 3. If you are installing a hard disk drive, start with step 2.

1. Locate the diskette drive ribbon cable. One end of the cable

is connected to the system board. If you are installing a

second diskette drive in the lower horizontal drive bay, the

other end of the cable is connected to the top diskette drive;

use the middle connector. If you are installing a diskette

drive in the upper bay, use the free end connector.

The diskette drive connector that extends from the back of

the drive has gold contacts on both sides. Grasp the cable

connector and align it with the drive connector so that the

key-way (the plastic divider) in the cable connector lines up

with the gap in the drive connector, as shown below.
