Connecting the Drive and Power Cables to the Drive

Follow the steps below to connect the hard disk drive ribbon

cable and a power supply cable to the drive:

1. Locate the free connector on the end of the hard disk drive

ribbon cable.

2. Locate pin 1 on the drive connector. If you do not see it on

the connector casing, turn the drive over so you can see the

drive’s circuit board. You will see a 1 or 2 printed on the

board to identify the side of the connector containing pin 1.

3. Align the connector on the cable so that the red wire will be

closest to pin 1 on the drive.

4. Make sure the holes in the cable connector fit over all the

pins in the hard disk drive connector; then push in the

connector.

5. Locate one of the power supply cables that lead from the

power supply. (They have multi-colored wires and a plastic

connector on the end.)
