●Some flat ribbon cables come prefolded. Never change the folds on these cables.
●Do not bend any cable sharply. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.
●Never bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
●Never crease a SATA data cable.
●Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or computer cover to push cables down into the chassis. Always position the cables to lay properly by themselves.
