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 hard disk drive 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, as shown below. There is a “1” or “2” printed on the board to identify the side of the connector containing pin 1.
pin 1 | red wire |
3.Position the connector on the cable so that the red wire aligns with pin 1 on the drive.
4.Make sure the holes in the cable connector fit over all the pins; then push in the connector.
