NOTE: If the 2.5-inch hard drive is the primary drive, connect the data cable to the dark blue SATA connector labeled SATA0 on the system board. If it is a secondary drive, connect the data cable to one of the light blue SATA connectors on the system board.

8.Rotate the drive cage back down to its normal position.
