v The drives that are preinstalled in the computer come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, remember which cable is attached to which drive. v When you install a drive, make sure that one of the drive connectors of the signal cable is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal cable is connected to the system board. v If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a primary device. v If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the primary device and the other as the secondary device; otherwise, the computer might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The primary and secondary designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device. v When the SAS adapter is installed, use the four-drop cable to connect the drives to the SAS adapter. The following cables are provided: v Power cables: Four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply. At the ends of these cables are plastic connectors that can be attached to different drives; these connectors vary in size. You can use either a four-wire power cable or Serial ATA power cable with Serial ATA drives, but do not use both at the same time (use one or the other). v Signal cables: Signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables, that connect parallel IDE, SATA, SAS and diskette drives to the system board. Two or three types of signal cables come with the computer: - IDE: The wider IDE signal cable has three connectors. One of these connectors is attached to the drive, one is a spare, and the third is attached to the primary IDE connector on the system board. The optical drive is attached to an ATA 100 signal cable. ATA 100 signal cables are color-coded. The blue connector is attached to the system board. The black connector is attached to the primary IDE device. The gray middle connector is attached to the secondary IDE device. - Diskette drive (optional): The narrower signal cable has two connectors. One is attached to the diskette drive, and the other is attached to the diskette drive connector on the system board. - Serial ATA: The narrower, black signal cable has two connectors. One is attached to the SATA drive, and the other is attached to the connector on the system board. Each SATA drive comes with a cable. If you install an additional SATA drive, you will need an additional cable. Connect SATA signal cables to the system board connectors (SATA 1 through SATA 4) in numerical order, starting with SATA 1. - SAS: The SAS flat three-drop cable connects the internal SAS hard disk drive to the SAS adapter connector. This cable has three connectors for attaching three internal SAS devices. 50 IBM IntelliStation M Pro Type 9229: User's Guide

v
The
drives
that
are
preinstalled
in
the
computer
come
with
power
and
signal
cables
attached.
If
you
replace
any
drives,
remember
which
cable
is
attached
to
which
drive.
v
When
you
install
a
drive,
make
sure
that
one
of
the
drive
connectors
of
the
signal
cable
is
connected
to
the
drive
and
that
the
connector
at
the
other
end
of
the
signal
cable
is
connected
to
the
system
board.
v
If
you
have
only
one
IDE
device
on
a
cable,
it
must
be
set
as
a
primary
device.
v
If
two
IDE
devices
are
used
on
a
single
cable,
one
must
be
designated
as
the
primary
device
and
the
other
as
the
secondary
device;
otherwise,
the
computer
might
not
recognize
some
of
the
IDE
devices.
The
primary
and
secondary
designation
is
determined
by
switch
or
jumper
settings
on
each
IDE
device.
v
When
the
SAS
adapter
is
installed,
use
the
four-drop
cable
to
connect
the
drives
to
the
SAS
adapter.
The
following
cables
are
provided:
v
Power
cables:
Four-wire
power
cables
connect
the
drives
to
the
power
supply.
At
the
ends
of
these
cables
are
plastic
connectors
that
can
be
attached
to
different
drives;
these
connectors
vary
in
size.
You
can
use
either
a
four-wire
power
cable
or
Serial
ATA
power
cable
with
Serial
ATA
drives,
but
do
not
use
both
at
the
same
time
(use
one
or
the
other).
v
Signal
cables:
Signal
cables
are
typically
flat
cables,
also
called
ribbon
cables,
that
connect
parallel
IDE,
SATA,
SAS
and
diskette
drives
to
the
system
board.
Two
or
three
types
of
signal
cables
come
with
the
computer:
–
IDE:
The
wider
IDE
signal
cable
has
three
connectors.
One
of
these
connectors
is
attached
to
the
drive,
one
is
a
spare,
and
the
third
is
attached
to
the
primary
IDE
connector
on
the
system
board.
The
optical
drive
is
attached
to
an
ATA
100
signal
cable.
ATA
100
signal
cables
are
color-coded.
The
blue
connector
is
attached
to
the
system
board.
The
black
connector
is
attached
to
the
primary
IDE
device.
The
gray
middle
connector
is
attached
to
the
secondary
IDE
device.
–
Diskette
drive
(optional):
The
narrower
signal
cable
has
two
connectors.
One
is
attached
to
the
diskette
drive,
and
the
other
is
attached
to
the
diskette
drive
connector
on
the
system
board.
–
Serial
ATA:
The
narrower,
black
signal
cable
has
two
connectors.
One
is
attached
to
the
SATA
drive,
and
the
other
is
attached
to
the
connector
on
the
system
board.
Each
SATA
drive
comes
with
a
cable.
If
you
install
an
additional
SATA
drive,
you
will
need
an
additional
cable.
Connect
SATA
signal
cables
to
the
system
board
connectors
(SATA
1
through
SATA
4)
in
numerical
order,
starting
with
SATA
1.
–
SAS:
The
SAS
flat
three-drop
cable
connects
the
internal
SAS
hard
disk
drive
to
the
SAS
adapter
connector.
This
cable
has
three
connectors
for
attaching
three
internal
SAS
devices.
