2.11 Connect Signal Cable 
After setting up disk devices, we need to connect their cables to the motherboard.    As a 
result of various connector locations on different motherboards, it is wise to read the words 
marked on the motherboard before you connect the cable.    Let's take a look at how these 
connectors are marked on the motherboard. 
 
You won't go wrong if you read the words correctly.

You can distinguish IDE cable from left and right.  Normally, a standard cable has a 
fool-proof device which is a small salient on the cable and you will find a small dent on the 
socket.    Just aim the salient at the dent and then plug it in. 
 
  Connect IDE cables to hard-disk drive and CD-ROM drive.
