5. Connect the appropriate drive ribbon cable to the drive.

If you are installing an IDE device, follow the instructions under “Connecting the Cables to the Front Internal Drive.”

If you are installing a diskette or tape drive, use one of the connectors on the diskette drive ribbon cable. If your drive has a connector containing pins (a header connector), be sure to align pin 1 of the drive connector with the side of the cable containing the red wire. If your drive has a card-edge connector (with gold contacts on each side of a flat plastic connector), align the key-way in the cable connector with the gap in the drive connector.

If you are installing another type of drive, see the documentation that came with it for instructions on connecting its drive cable.
