Connecting the Cables To connect the hard disk drive to the computer, you need to connect two cables: the hard disk drive ribbon cable and a power supply cable. Follow the steps below: 1. If you areinstalling your computer's first hard disk drive, you need to connect the hard disk drive ribbon cable to the system board now. Follow the instructions on page 3-33 and then return here. 2. The hard disk drive ribbon cable should be connected to the main system board. Locate the free connector on the end of this cable. (If there is a hard disk drive in the lower horizontal bay, the middle connector is attached to that drive.) 3. Notice the small tab in the middle of the cable connector; align this tab with the notch in the hard disk drive connector, as shown in the following illustration. Note When the hard disk drive ribbon cable is positioned correctly, the red wire on the cable is next to the power supply connector on the hard disk drive, as shown. 3-12 Installing and Removing Drives
