3. Route the diskette drive data cable between the system board and the hard drive cage. Your cable might look different than the one shown. CAUTION: The cable must stay between the system board and the hard drive cage. It might be necessary to push the cable down so that it catches on the system board. This routing method is important because it avoids interference with the CPU heatsink fans and blocking airflow. Figure 4-54 Routing the diskette drive cable to the system board 4. Connect the cables to the back of the diskette drive. Hard drive Replacing a hard drive For more information on SATA hard drives and the SATA RAID configuration, see Appendix B - SATA devices on page 139. Removing a hard drive 1. Disconnect power from the system ( Pre-disassembly procedures on page 50), and remove the access panel (Access panel on page 57). 2. Disconnect the cables from the hard drive.
