RECONNECT THE DATA AND POWER CABLES
IMPORTANT: Data and power connectors fit together only one way. All connectors are keyed to ensure
that they are inserted in the proper orientation. Examine the drive, motherboard and cable connectors
before installation so that connectors are properly aligned. Make sure connectors are seated in the
mating connectors securely, but do not force the connection. When installing drive power cables, push the
connectors straight in or out; do not rock connectors back and forth.
