Next, connect your IDE cables (if you're using IDE hard drives).
Figure 3
The colored stripe on the cable should face toward the top of your chassis, or
toward the big white B printed on the motherboard.
In Figure 3 you can see
how the IDE cables should
look when they are
connected to your hard
drive. Notice how Pin 1
(denoted by a red stripe) is
connected so that it is next
to the power connector of
the drive. In most cases,
this is the proper way of
Pin 1
connecting your IDE cable
to the hard drive. Figure 4
shows the IDE cable
properly connected to the
motherboard.
Contact your hard disk
drive manufacturer or
documentation for more
information.
