Drive Interface Connectors
Most interface connectors are keyed for correct insertion; that is, a notch or a missing pin on one
connector matches a tab or a filled-in hole on the other connector.
When you connect an IDE cable, ensure that you align the colored stripe with the pin 1
connector. When you disconnect an IDE cable, grasp the colored pull tab and pull until the
connector detaches.
When connecting and disconnecting a serial ATA cable, hold the cable by the connector at
each end.
NOTE:
The system board serial ATA connector may have an attached cover or shroud.
