Power
and
signal
cables
for
internal
drives
The
server
uses
cables
to
connect
parallel
IDE,
simple-swap
SATA,
hot-swap
SATA
and
hot-swap
SAS
devices
to
the
power
supply
and
to

Review
the
following
information
before
connecting
power
and
signal
cables
to
internal
drives:
v
The
drives
that
are
preinstalled
in
the
server
come
with
power
and
signal
cables
attached.
If
you
replace
any
drives,
remember
which
cable
is
attached
to
which
drive.
v
If
you
have
only
one
IDE
device
on
a
cable,
it
must
be
set
as
a
master
device.
v
If
two
IDE
devices
are
used
on
a
single
cable,
one
must
be
designated
as
the
master
device
and
the
other
as
the
subordinate
device;
otherwise,
the
server
might
not
recognize
some
of
the
IDE
devices.
The
master
and
subordinate
designation
is
determined
by
switch
or
jumper
settings
on
each
IDE
device.
v
When
you
route
a
cable,
make
sure
that
it
does
not
block
the
airflow
to
the
rear
of
the
drives
or
over
the
microprocessor
or
DIMMs.
The
following
cables
are
provided:
v
IDE:
The
wider
IDE
signal
cable
has
three
connectors.
One
of
these
connectors
is
attached
to
the
drive,
one
is
a
spare,
and
the
third
is
attached
to
the
IDE
connector
on
the
system
board.
The
spare
connector
can
be
used
to
connect
an
additional
IDE
optical
drive
or
tape
drive
to
the
server.
