Follow these steps to 

the IDE device and power cables

to the front internal drive:

1.

Locate the IDE device cables that are connected to the IDE

interface on the system board. They are flat cables with a

system board connector at one end and two IDE device

connectors  at the other end. The cable has a red wire on

one side. (If necessary, see “Locating System Board

Components” in Chapter 4 to find the primary and

secondary IDE interfaces on the system board.)

Use the primary IDE interface for your boot drive and your

second hard disk drive; use the secondary IDE interface to

connect IDE CD-ROM drives, other IDE devices, or your
third and fourth drives. You cannot connect a CD-ROM

drive and hard disk drive to the same interface.

Identify the IDE device connector you will use on the IDE
device  cable.

Locate pin 1 on the drive connector. The number 1 or 2 may
be printed on the drive’s connector or circuit board to

identify the side of the connector containing pin 1.
