4.6 Drive Installation
The SpinPoint V40 hard disk drive can be installed in an AT-compatible system in two ways:
• To install the drive with a motherboard that contains a 40-pin AT-bus connector, connect the drive to the
motherboard using a 40-pin ribbon cable. Ensure that pin 1 of the drive is connected to pin 1 of the
motherboard connector.
• To install the drive in a system without a 40-pin, AT-bus connector on its motherboard, an AT-bus
adapter kit is required. The kit includes an adapter board and a ribbon cable to connect the board to the
drive.
Figure 4-7 indicates the cable and power cord connections required for proper drive installation.
