Connecting the Cables to the Front Internal Drive Follow these steps to connect the IDE device and power cables to the front internal drive: 1. Locate the IDE device cables that are connected to the IDE interface on the system board. They are flat cables with a system board connector at one end and two IDE device connectors at the other end. The cable has a red wire on one side. (If necessary, see "Locating System Board Components" in Chapter 4 to find the primary and secondary IDE interfaces on the system board.) Use the primary IDE interface for your boot drive and your second hard disk drive; use the secondary IDE interface to connect IDE CD-ROM drives, other IDE devices, or your third and fourth drives. You cannot connect a CD-ROM drive and hard disk drive to the same interface. 2. Identify the IDE device connector you will use on the IDE device cable. 3. Locate pin 1 on the drive connector. The number 1 or 2 may be printed on the drive's connector or circuit board to identify the side of the connector containing pin 1. 6-6 Installing and Removing Tower Drives
