power cable that connects to the power supply and a signal cable that connects
to the system board. For a CD-ROM drive, there might also be an audio cable.
The steps to connect an IDE drive are different depending on the type of drive
being connected. Use one of the following procedures for drive connection.
To connect the first IDE CD drive or DVD drive
1. Locate the three-connector signal cable that came with the computer or with the
new drive.
2. Locate the secondary IDE connector on the system board. See "Identifying parts
on the system board" on page 24.
3. Connect one end of the signal cable to the drive and the other to the secondary
IDE connector on the system board. To reduce electronic noise, use the
connectors at the end of the cable only.
4. Your computer has extra power connectors for additional drives. Connect a
power connector to the drive.
5. If there is a CD-ROM audio cable, connect it to the drive and to the system
board. See "Identifying parts on the system board" on page 24.
