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 4-35 Routing the diskette drive cable to the system board 4. Connect the cables to the back of the diskette drive.
