Check all connectors to be certain that they are properly cabled and

firmly seated.

NOTICE: To avoid possible damage to the computer, you must match the

colored stripe on the hard-drive data cable with pin 1 on the hard drive (IDE1)

connector and with the system board interface connector (IDE1).

To locate the IDE connector 1 (IDE1) on the system board, see

“System Board Components.”

3 On the small desktop computer, if your computer has a hard-drive

shroud, replace the shroud by inserting the two tabs on the bottom

into the holes in the computer and snapping the top into place.

(Operating the computer without a hard-drive shroud does not affect

its performance.)
