Cabling an IDE Device
1.
Connect the appropriate connector on the IDE signal cable to the IDE connector
on the IDE device. Align the colored edge of the cable with the pin 1 side of the

standard and optional hard disk drive on the
same IDE signal cable (using the primary IDE
connector on the system board).
Take care to prevent bending drive connector pins. Be sure to align the IDE cable
connector as shown in the figure.

Locate an available power connector coming from the power supply (see “System
Power Cables”).
