which designate that each connection be used for either a slave or a master

device. Other cables have connectors that can be used for either. Consult your

computer manual for further and more detailed information on how your system

is set up. Locate the 40-pin IDE connector that fits your setup and that reaches

the ORB drive inside your computer. If you installed an IDE interface cable,

then use one of the connectors on this cable. Connect the cable to the rear of

the ORB drive. If the connector is keyed it can only be installed with the keyed

side pointing toward the top of the drive (facing up).

If the cable is not keyed, insert the cable so that the banded or striped color

edge of the ribbon cable is closest to the Master/Slave jumpers (see illustration

above). Seat the cable firmly, but do not use excessive force.

The power cable has a 4-pin connector on the end of it that is shaped so that it

can only be installed one way. The slanted corners designate the top of the con-

nector.

Insert an unused 4-pin power connector from inside the computer into the rear

of the ORB drive. Make sure that the connector is inserted completely into the

drive. If there are no unused power connectors in your computer you will need a

Y-adapter, which allows you to branch two power connectors off one of your com-

puter’s power cables.
