Connecting the drive Each drive requires two cables; a power cable from the power supply and a signal cable that connects the drive to the system board. See "Identifying parts on the system board (all machine types)" on page 38. There are two types of hard disk drives; parallel ATA and serial ATA. Each one is connected to a different location on the system board. See "Parallel ATA hard disk drive" and "Serial ATA hard disk drive" on page 55. Other drives, such as a CD drive, connect to either the primary or secondary PATA connector. The diskette drive connects to the diskette drive connector.
