Locate the cooling fan connector (e.g. CPU Fan, J4) on the motherboard. Plug the
CPU's cooling fan cable into the cooling fan connector on the board. There will
be a plastic clip assembly similar to that of the ATX power connector that will
force you to connect the fan cable correctly (see Figure 2-9 below).
You will need to connect the CPU's fan cable to the fan power connector on
the board. Locate the fan connector (e.g. FAN1) on the motherboard. Plug the

fan cable correctly.

5. Connecting IDE and Floppy Drives

The colored stripe on a ribbon cable should face toward the battery on the
motherboard. Make sure that Pin 1 (denoted by a red stripe) is connected so
that it is next to the power connector of the drive. The primary IDE connector
is black; the secondary IDE connector is white. In most cases, this is the
proper way of connecting your IDE cable to the hard drive. Figure 2-10 on the
next page shows the IDE cable properly connected to the motherboard.
Contact your hard disk drive manufacturer or documentation for more informa-
