Connecting the Drive and Power Cables
If you are installing a diskette or tape drive, follow all the steps
below. If you are installing a hard disk drive, follow the
instructions on pages 4-9 through 4-12. Then go to step 5 below.
Note
If you have one hard disk drive installed in the bracket
below the diskette drive and will install and a second hard
disk drive in the external bay, you need to purchase a new
hard disk drive cable that can reach both drives.
If you are installing another type of drive, see the
documentation that came with it to connect the drive cable;
then go to step 3 below to connect the power supply cable.
1.
Locate the diskette drive ribbon cable; the connector in the
middle is already connected to the system board.
2.
If you are installing a drive with a card-edge connector, make
sure you align the key-way (the plastic divider) with the
gap in the drive connector, as shown below.
