IBM 22P6972 - Manual (Page 16)

If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and
connect the master and slave devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers
have two cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (hard
disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE port, and connect the drive or other
slower devices (CD-ROM drives, tape drives, diskette drives) to the cable that is connected to the
secondary IDE port.
4. Attach a four-pin power cable 3 to the power connector on the drive.
Be sure that the cables will not be pinched or crowded by the computer cover and that all other cable
and power connections are secure.
Step 6. Completing the hardware installation
1. Ensure that the drive is securely mounted and that the connectors are firmly attached.
2. Ensure that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover, and that they do not block the
