Use a 40-pin ribbon cable to connect the drive to the board. See Figure 3-10. To
connect the drive to the board:

1. Insert the 40-pin cable connector into the mating connector of the adapter

board. Make sure that pin 1 of the connector matches with pin 1 on the cable.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into the header on the drive. When

inserting this end of the cable, make sure that pin 1 of the cable connects to
pin 1 of the drive connector.

3. Secure the drive to the system chassis by using the mounting screws, as

shown in Figure 3-11.
