(If the drive is held in place securely by rails, you will not need
to use the mounting screws.)
6. Check the drive alignment and tighten the screws.
Do not overtighten.
Step 6. Attaching the Cables to the Drive
Use the following procedure to attach the cables.
1. Locate a free device connector on the IDE interface cable in your
computer.
The connector on one end and the connector in the middle
connect to the storage devices. The other end of the cable
connects to the IDE port. The IDE port can be on the computer
system board or on an adapter installed in an expansion slot. For
the best signal quality when you have only one device on the IDE
cable, connect the device to the connector on the end opposite the
IDE port.
2. Attach an available connector on the interface cable to the
connector on the drive, as shown. Be sure that the colored wire
is connected to pin 1 on the drive connector and is the closest
wire to the four-pin DC power connector.
Pin 40
Pin 1
3. Find an unused power connector on a cable coming from the
computer power supply and attach it to the four-pin DC power
connector. The power connector is keyed so that it attaches one
way only. Do not force it. If the connector does not attach using
reasonable pressure, recheck the orientation of the cable connector
to the drive connector, and try again.
If all power cables are in use, purchase a DC Y-connector
(available at many electronic stores) and split a connection to
provide power for more devices.
