Connecting Drive Cables
When you install a drive, you connect two cables—a DC power cable and a data cable—to the
back of the drive and to the system board. Some drives may also have an audio connector; one
end of the audio cable attaches to the drive connector and the other end attaches to the system
board.
Drive Interface Connectors
Most interface connectors are keyed for correct insertion; that is,
a notch or a missing pin on one connector matches a tab or a
filled-in hole on the other connector.
When you connect an IDE cable, ensure that you align the
colored stripe with the pin 1 connector. When you disconnect an
IDE cable, grasp the colored pull tab and pull until the
connector detaches.
When connecting and disconnecting a serial ATA cable, hold the
cable by the connector at each end.
NOTE:
The system board serial ATA connector may have an
attached cover or shroud.
