Connecting the Cables

Follow these steps to connect the drive and power supply cables:

1.If the subassembly is out of the computer, follow the steps in Chapter 5 to replace it.

2.Locate one power supply cable for each drive you installed in the internal drive bay. You can use any of the free cables labeled P1 through P5. If you removed the subassembly earlier, also reconnect the power supply cables to the drive(s) in the external drive bay.

Align the notched corners of the cable connector with the notched corners of the drive socket, as shown below. Then push in the connector.

3.Locate the cable for each drive installed in the internal drive bay. (If you removed the subassembly earlier, also reconnect the drive cables to the drive(s) in the external bay. See page 7-9 for instructions on connecting a diskette drive cable.)

If you are installing your first hard disk drive, use the cable included with your computer.
