		3.	Third hard disk drive:	Secondary IDE Drive Cable Connector

NOTE	When connecting hard disk drives, note that if the drives are connected
	to the same data cable, and the drives operate in different modes (or
	speeds), the slower speed will be used. To avoid possible degradation of
	disk performance, it is recommended that, whenever possible, hard disk
	drives are placed on different cables.
	There are two different types of connectors—these are shown below.
				Power Cables for
				Hard Disk Drives,
				Tape Drives, and
				CD-ROM Drives
				Power Cable for 3.5-
				inch Flexible Disk
				Drive

Some of the power connectors will already be connected to devices. If you install a device that requires a different connector, the connector converter should be supplied with the device.
