Connecting the Hard Disk Drive Ribbon Cable to

the System Board

Follow these steps to connect the hard disk drive ribbon cable

to the system board:

Locate the hard disk drive connector on the system board.

It is next to the diskette drive connector, between the

option card connector board and the power supply.

Note

You may find it easier to plug in the cable connector if

you first remove the option card connector board and

diskette drive ribbon cable. To remove the option card

connector board, see Chapter 4. To disconnect the

diskette drive ribbon cable, grasp the cable connector

and pull it straight out from the system board connector

so you do not bend the pins; do not pull on the cable.

Locate the hard disk drive ribbon cable that came with the

computer. It is a flat cable with three connectors: one on

each end and one in the middle, as shown below.
