Connecting the Drive and Power Cables to the Drive

Follow the steps below to connect the hard disk drive ribbon cable and a power supply cable to the drive:

1.Locate the free connector on the end of the hard disk drive ribbon cable.

2.Locate pin 1 on the drive connector. If you do not see it on the connector casing, turn the drive over so you can see the drive’s circuit board. You will see a 1 or 2 printed on the board to identify the side of the connector containing pin 1.

3.Align the connector on the cable so that the red wire will be closest to pin 1 on the drive.

4.Make sure the holes in the cable connector fit over all the pins in the hard disk drive connector; then push in the connector.

5.Locate one of the power supply cables that lead from the power supply. (They have multi-colored wires and a plastic connector on the end.)
