Connecting the Hard Drive Cables
CAUTION:
Never crease or bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius. A
sharp bend can break the internal wires.
6.
If installing a new drive, connect the opposite end of the data cable to the appropriate system board
connector.
NOTE:
If your system has only one SATA hard drive, you must connect the hard drive data cable
to the dark blue connector labeled SATA0 to avoid any hard drive performance problems. If you
are adding a second hard drive, connect the data cable to the next available (unpopulated) SATA
connector on the system board in the following order: SATA0, SATA1, SATA2, SATA3.
7.
Route the power and data cables in their cable retainers.
Removing and Replacing a Removable 3.5-inch SATA Hard Drive

NOTE:
Before you remove the old hard drive, be sure to back up the data from the old hard drive so
that you can transfer the data to the new hard drive.
