Epson EQUITY 386SX/16 PLUS - Manual (Page 170)

The interface that protrudes from the back of the drive
has gold contacts on both sides. Near one end of the
interface, there is a gap to accommodate the plastic
divider on the connector.
Align the connector with the interface so that the plastic
divider on the connector lines up with the gap in the
interface, as shown below.

Make sure the cable connector fits properly onto the
drive interface and then push it onto the interface.
Caution
If you do not correctly align the connector, you could
severely damage your diskette drive when you push it
in.
If you removed a hard disk drive from the vertical
mounting position, go to step 6. If you did not, go to
step 8 for instructions on connecting the power cable.
