12B. The wide, flat cable that you previously unplugged from the CD-ROM
drive is the data cable. Plug the data cable into CD-Writer Plus. Most
connectors are keyed so that they only fit one way. If your connector is
not keyed to fit only one way, make sure the cable’s colored edge is
aligned with PIN-1, which is clearly marked on the CD-Writer Plus drive.
CAUTION: Make sure that you are attaching the cable correctly! You must
locate PIN-1 on each connector and attach the cable so that the edge with the
color stripe is aligned with PIN-1. If the cable is attached incorrectly, your
computer may not boot up.
