Section 3. Installing the PX-712SA Internal SATA Drive
6. Plug one connector of the SATA cable into the SATA connector on
the rear panel of the drive before you insert the drive into your
computer. Then thread the cable through the front of the open bay
and back toward the motherboard. The drive should slide smoothly
into the bay. If it does not, check for obstructions in the bay and
ensure the side rails are attached properly.
7. If not already connected, attach the other end of the SATA ribbon
cable to the Serial ATA connector on the computer motherboard (or
on a PCI board, if that is how the Serial ATA interface is provided in
your computer).When connecting the Serial ATA cable, note that
cable connectors are keyed, and will fit only one way. For example,
the initials "SATA" on the cable connector should be up.
8. Connect a power cable from the computer to the power connector of
the drive. In most computers, you will find free power connectors
that are ready for your use.
CAUTION: The power connector on the cable and the receptacle on
the drive are keyed. Do not force the power connector into the drive,
or the drive and/or the computer could be damaged.
