drives.
m If you added a second ATA drive to a computer that came with one ATA drive, plug the

connector on the end of the ribbon cable to the drive on the bottom and attach the
cable’s middle connector to the top drive.

m If you added a SCSI drive to a computer that came with an ATA drive, attach the SCSI

ribbon cable to the SCSI PCI card you installed earlier.

m If you’ve added two SCSI drives, attach the SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI PCI card or to

the other SCSI drive.

See the instructions that came with your SCSI PCI card or drive for information on
connecting the ribbon cable.

Plug the power cord bundle back
into the main logic board.

If your computer came
with an ATA drive in drive
position 3 and you’re installing
a SCSI hard disk drive in either drive
position 1 or 2, you’ll need to attach
it to a third-party PCI SCSI card that you
buy separately. Follow the directions that
came with the card to find out how to attach the hard disk drive to the card correctly.

Plug the end of the ATA ribbon
cable back into the bottom ATA
drive. Plug the middle connector
into the top ATA drive.
