IMPORTANT: Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red
stripe on the Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the con-
nectors are labeled on the motherboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the
power connector on hard drives and floppy drives. IDE ribbon cable
must be less than 18in. (46cm), with the second drive connector no more
than 6in. (15cm) from the first connector.
