IDE Signal Cables

Systems with an IDE hard drive come with a three-connector IDE interface cable attached to the primary IDE connector. Some systems come with a second three-connector IDE cable connected to the second IDE drive (such as the CD-ROM drive) and to the secondary IDE connector.

Power cables come from the power supply and are attached to the standard storage devices. System power cables vary in length and provide connector sizes to accommodate a variety of supported storage configurations. Power cable connectors are keyed to fit only in the correct position.
