Connecting the Drive Cables

1.Connect the power cable plug to the power connector on the rear panel.

2.Connect the 40-pin IDE cable plug to the IDE connector, matching the red pin stripe on the cable with Pin 1 on the connector.

3.If your computer has a sound card or an onboard audio feature, connect an audio interface cable to the 4-pin analog audio connector on the rear of the drive. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the connector on the sound card or on the 4-pin CD connector on the motherboard.

CAUTION! All the cable plugs are slotted so that they fit in only one orientation. If a plug does not fit in completely, try reversing it. DO NOT use too much force when fitting the cable plugs.
