Expansion Cards; Hard Drive - Gateway 980 User Manual

■ Open your server and make sure that the cables are connected correctly
to the diskette drive and the system board. The red-striped edge of the data
ribbon cable indicates Pin 1 and corresponds with Pin 1 on the diskette
drive (typically on the side farthest from the power supply connection).
If necessary, reverse one end of the cable so the red-striped edge of the
data ribbon cable faces Pin 1 on the diskette drive. Make sure that the pins
are not bent or misaligned. For more information, see
