Connecting the Hard Disk Drive Cables

To connect the hard disk drive to the computer, you need to

connect two cables: the hard disk drive ribbon cable and a

power supply cable.

The hard disk drive ribbon cable is attached to your system

board. If you need to remove it for any reason, see “Connecting

the drive cable to the system board,” below, for instructions on

reconnecting the cable to the system board. Otherwise, see

page 5-6 for instructions on connecting the ribbon cable and

power supply cable to the drive.

You should connect both the hard disk drive ribbon cable and

the power supply cable to the drive before you secure it with

the mounting bracket. You will not be able to attach them once

the bracket is in place.

Connecting the drive cable to the system board

If you need to connect the hard disk drive ribbon cable to the

system board, follow the steps below. (If the hard disk drive

ribbon cable is already attached to the system board, see

“Connecting the drive and power cables to the drive” on page 5-6.)

1. Locate the hard disk drive ribbon cable; it is a flat cable with

a connector on each end and an additional connector on the

ribbon cable.
