Device Cabling; Cabling An Ide Device - NEC PowerMate Enterprise Manual

Device Cabling

All storage devices require a power and signal cable connection. Devices shipped with the
system are already connected. Cable optional devices as follows.

Cabling an IDE Device

Cable an IDE device by following these steps.
1. See "Device Preparation" in this section for preinstallation instructions.
2. Connect an unused connector on the IDE signal cable to the signal connector on
the IDE device (see Figure 3-24).
Take care to prevent bending connector pins. Be sure to align the IDE cable
connector as shown in the figure.
3. Locate an available power connector coming from the power supply (see "System
Power Cables").
Connect a power cable to the power connector on the IDE device. (The IDE

device may look slightly different than the one shown in Figure 3-24.)
5. If an IDE CD-ROM reader is being installed on a system equipped with audio,
connect the audio cable to riser board or to an optional sound board (see the
instructions that come with the reader).
