14.2.1 Identifying the DVD-ROM Drive Interface Cable
The DVD-ROM has separate power and interface cables. The power cable is a Y

drives and DVD-ROM drive. The interface cable connects the DVD-ROM drive to
the motherboard at
IDE SEC . The interface cable is a 40-conductor ribbon cable that
is routed through the chassis. FIGURE 14-5 shows the DVD-ROM drive interface cable
connections.
Note – The instructions in this section apply to any removable media drive, such as
a CD-ROM, tape, or DVD-ROM drive.
