Connecting the Cables

To connect the drive to the computer, you need to connect two
cables: a drive ribbon cable and a power supply cable. The
steps below describe how to connect these cables to the drive.
If you are installing a diskette drive, follow step 1 and then skip
to step 3. If you are installing a hard disk drive, start with step 2.
1. Locate the diskette drive ribbon cable. One end of the cable
is connected to the system board. If you are installing a
second diskette drive in the lower horizontal drive bay, the
other end of the cable is connected to the top diskette drive;
use the middle connector. If you are installing a diskette
drive in the upper bay, use the free end connector.
The diskette drive connector that extends from the back of
the drive has gold contacts on both sides. Grasp the cable
connector and align it with the drive connector so that the
key-way (the plastic divider) in the cable connector lines up
with the gap in the drive connector, as shown below.
