Connecting the ribbon 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 and you did not locate it before you replaced the drive bracket, you may have to remove the drive and turn it over to check the circuit board. See page

4-14 for instructions on removing the drive and page 4-6 for instructions on locating pin 1 on the drive connector.

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.
