14. Determine whether the drive is an IDE or SCSI device; then, connect one end
of the applicable signal cable into the back of the drive and the other end of
this cable into the applicable IDE or SCSI connector on the system board. See
"Power and signal cables for internal drives" on page 52 for additional
information about cabling drives and "System-board internal connectors" on
page 36 for the location of IDE and SCSI connectors on the system board. If
there are open connectors on the cables connecting existing IDE or SCSI
drives, you can use these cables to connect the new drive.
15. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the
drives or over the microprocessor.
16. Connect the power cable to the back of the drive. The connectors are keyed
and can be inserted only one way.
17. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.

bracket" on page 38).
