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 one of the IDE device cables that are connected to the IDE interfaces 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. A red wire is on one side of the cable. (See "Locating the System Board Components" in Chapter 4 to find the primary and secondary IDE interfaces on the system board.) system board connector IDE device connectors red wire 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 hard disk 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 I 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 Drives in the Tower Computer

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 one of the IDE device cables that are connected to the
IDE interfaces 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. A red wire is on one
side of the cable. (See “Locating the 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 hard disk 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 I or 2 may
be printed on the drive’s connector or circuit board to
identify the side of the connector containing pin 1.
