Plug the motor unit connectors onto the connectors on the rear underside of motherboard. The connector from the motor unit installed on the left should be plugged into the motherboard’s left connector, and the connector from the right motor unit should be plugged into the motherboard’s right connector. (Do not plug either into the motherboard’s central connector.)

Note: Make sure the connectors are facing the same way, as in the diagram. The four pins of each motherboard connector should be inserted into the holes.
