To replace the front-panel insert for the 3.5-inch bay, work from outside the cover. Place the insert in

Connecting Drives

When installing a drive, you connect two cables—a DC power cable and an interface cable—to the back of
the drive. Your drive's power input connector (to which you connect the DC power cable) resembles the
connector shown in Figure 4.

The drive's interface connector is a card-edge connector or a header connector, as shown in Figure 5.
