When attaching the interface cable to a drive, be sure to match the colored strip on
the cable to pin 1 of the drive's interface connector. For the location of pin 1 on the
drive's interface connector, see the documentation that came with the drive.
When disconnecting an interface cable from the system board, be sure to press in on
the locking tabs on the cable connector before disconnecting the cable. When attach-
ing an interface cable to the system board, be sure that the locking tabs snap into
place, ensuring that the cable is firmly attached to the connector on the system board.
