3-14 Option Installation
Depending on the model, installation of a second 5 1/4-inch accessible device may require
the replacement of the existing diskette drive signal cable with a three-connector cable.
Connect an optional device to the middle connector on the three-connector diskette drive
signal cable.
The colored edge of the cable goes to pin 1 on the cable connector. Align the red edge of
the cable with pin 1 (the notched end) on the drive connector.
Figure 3-9 shows a three-connector diskette drive signal cable.

IDE Signal Cables
Each system comes with a three-connector IDE interface cable attached to the primary IDE
connector and the installed hard disk. A second IDE cable connects to the CD-ROM drive
and to the secondary IDE connector. In some systems, a Zip drive also comes attached to
the primary IDE cable.
Figure 3-10 shows a typical three-connector IDE cable. If the IDE cable is not keyed with a
connector tab, align the colored edge of the cable with the pin 1 side of the drive connector.
