Attaching cables

This drive is designed for a host computer that supplies interface signals and +5V power through a single 44-pin connector and cable. If your computer has a fixed connector that attaches directly to the drive, skip ahead to the following section, “Mount- ing the drive.” Otherwise, attach the interface/power cable as described below.

1.Turn off the computer and remove the battery.

2.Put on a grounded wrist strap.

3.Open your computer case. See your system manual for instructions.

Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service laptop and notebook computers. In some cases, open- ing the case may void your warranty.

4.Connect the 44-pin interface/power cable. Match pin 1 of the cable to pin 1 of the interface connectors on the drive and on the computer. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a stripe along one edge of the cable. The location of pin 1 on the drive interface connector is shown in Figure 1 on page 4. The cable should be no longer than 18 inches (0.457 meters).

Caution. The printed-circuit cables used in laptop computers are very delicate. Be careful not to tear them.

Mounting the drive

Mount the drive securely in the computer using M3X0.5 metric screws in the four bottom mounting holes or the four side mounting holes. You can mount the drive in any orientation. Be careful not to strain or crimp the interface/power cable.
