2. Position the connector on the IDE drive ribbon cable so that
the red wire aligns with pin 1 on the drive, which is always
the pin nearest the 4-pin power connector.
Make sure the holes in the cable connector fit over all the
3.
pins; then push in the connector.
Caution
If you do not correctly align the holes with the pins, you
could severely damage your hard disk drive when you
push in the connector.
Locate one of the power supply cables that lead from the
4.
power supply. (They have multicolored wires and a plastic
connector on the end.)
