If you are installing a SATA tape drive, connect one end of the
IDE/SATA power cable adapter to the IDE power cable in the system,
and connect the other end to the drive.

drive, attach the SCSI/PATA power cable (see Figure 3-18), SATA
power cable (see Figure 3-19), or SAS cable (see Figure 3-20) to the
drive. Ensure that cables are secured in their respective clips.

If you are installing a SATA optical or tape drive, connect the cable
from the SATA connector on the system board to the drive. See
Figure 3-19 for SATA drive connections; see Figure 3-22 for SATA
cabling guidelines.
