IDE and Floppy-Drive Cables
NOTE:
Using one IDE or floppy-drive cable, you can connect a maximum of two
devices to each connector on the system board.
NOTE:
Floppy-drive cables and connectors are similar to IDE cables and
connectors. However, the number of pins on the connectors vary. You cannot
interchange the cables or connectors.
To disconnect an IDE cable, hold the cable by the connector at each end and
gently pull the IDE cable from the connector on the system board or IDE drive.
The connector on an IDE cable is keyed in the center with a raised piece of
plastic called the cable key. To connect an IDE cable, align the cable key with
connector on the system board or drive; then push the connector until it is
fully inserted.
