Connecting an IDE hard disk or CD drive
1. Locate the three-connector signal cable that came with the computer. One end
of the cable is connected to the system board IDE connector. The other two
connectors allow you to connect two drives.

connector on the system board. See “Identifying parts on the system board” on
page 28.

drive.

5. If you have a CD-ROM drive audio cable (not included with computer),
connect it to the drive and the system board. For the location of the CD audio
