7.Determine which cable is the hard disk drive cable and which is the diskette drive cable.
Both the diskette drive and hard disk drive sockets on the main system board have a notch on one side. The hard disk drive socket is closest to the front of the main system board and the diskette drive socket is behind it.
8.Connect the diskette drive cable first. As shown below, there is a tab on one side of the connector.

Align the connector with the socket so the tab on the connector lines up with the notch in the socket. Make sure the holes in the connector fit over all the pins in the socket and then push in the connector.
