Connecting the drive cable to the system board – Epson EL 486UC User Manual
Page 77
The hard disk drive ribbon cable is attached to your system
board. You may need to remove it, for instance, to install a
cable that supports two hard disk drives in this system. See
“Connecting the drive cable to the system board,” below, for
instructions on reconnecting the cable to the system board.
Otherwise, see page 4-6 for instructions on connecting the
ribbon cable and power supply cable to the drive.
You should connect both the hard disk drive ribbon cable and
the power supply cable to the drive before you secure it with
the mounting bracket. You will not be able to attach them once
the bracket is in place.
Connecting the drive cable to the system board
If you need to connect the hard disk drive ribbon cable to the
system board, follow the steps below. (If the hard disk drive
ribbon cable is already attached to the system board, see
“Connecting the drive and power cables to the drive” on
page 4-6.)
1. Locate the hard disk drive ribbon cable; it is a flat cable with
a connector on each end and an additional connector on the
ribbon cable.
