1.9 CABLE CONNECTION

1. Connect the EIDE interface cable to the drive.
By now you should have determined where you are going to install the
drive (i.e.Master/Slave/CSEL and Primary/Secondary). This process was
detailed in Section 1.7, Configuration Options. For example, some
computers contain interface cables which designate that each connector
be used for either a slave or a master device. Other cables have
connectors that can be used for either. Consult your computer manual
for further and more detailed information on how your system is set up.
Locate the 40-pin EIDE connector that fits your setup and that reaches
the ORB drive inside your computer. If you installed an EIDE interface
cable, then use one of the connectors on this cable. Connect the cable
to the rear of the ORB drive. If the connector is keyed it can only be
installed with the keyed side pointing toward the top of the drive (facing
up).
If the cable is not keyed, insert the cable so that the banded or striped
color edge of the ribbon cable is closest to the Master/Slave jumpers
(see Figure 11 below). Seat the cable firmly, but do not use excessive
force.
2. Connect the power cable to the drive.
The power cable has a 4-pin connector on the end of it that is shaped
so that it can only be installed one way. The slanted corners designate
the top of the connector.
Insert an unused 4-pin power connector from inside the computer into
the rear of the ORB drive. Make sure that the connector is inserted
completely into the drive. If there are no unused power connectors in
your computer you will need a Y-adapter, which allows you to branch
two power connectors off one of your computer’s power cables.
