Removing and Installing Parts

Connecting and Disconnecting Drive Cables

When connecting and disconnecting a serial ATA data cable, disconnect the 
cable using the pull-tab.

The serial ATA interface connectors are keyed for correct insertion; that is, a 
notch or a missing pin on one connector matches a tab or a filled-in hole on 
the other connector.

To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from 

the electrical outlet before removing the cover.
