Connecting the Drive Cable to the System Board
If you need to connect the hard disk drive ribbon cable to the
system board, follow the steps below. (If the hard disk drive
ribbon cable is already attached to the system board, refer to
“Connecting the Drive and Power Cables to the Drive” on
page 4-5.)
1.
Locate the hard disk drive connector on the system board.
2.
Locate the hard disk drive ribbon cable; it is a flat cable with
a connector on each end.
3.
Select one of the connectors. Notice the two grooves in one
side of the connector. Align the connector so that these
grooves face the hard disk drive bay.
4.
Make sure the holes in the cable connector fit over the pins
in the system board connector; then push in the cable
connector.
