3. Reinstall the hard-disk drive bracket in the chassis (see

Figure 15

).


Insert the hard-disk drive bracket into the drive bay cage by gently sliding it in until the tabs snap into place. Close the drive door until it snaps
securely into place. Be sure to fold down the drive door handle so that the front panel can be replaced on the chassis.

4. Connect a DC power cable to the power input connector on the back of the drive (see

Figure 16

).


Check all connectors to be certain that they are properly cabled and firmly seated.

5. Connect one of the device connectors on the enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) cable to the 40-pin interface connector on the

back of the hard-disk drive.

NOTICE: You must match the colored strip on the EIDE cable with pin 1 on the drive's interface connector to avoid
possible damage to your system.

NOTE: Ultra ATA/66 hard-disk drives require an 80-conductor cable to transfer data at full speed. The 80-conductor cable
has a 40-pin connector just like the Ultra ATA/33 cable but has twice as many wires within the cable itself. If you use an Ultra
ATA/33 cable with Ultra ATA/66 hard-disk drives, the drives will transfer data at Ultra ATA/33 speeds.
