If you look into the open plug-in board/hard disk compartment, you will see a thick

bundle of wires running along the forward inside edge, held in place by a black

retainer band, bent around them. To assure clearance of your new parts, it might

be advantageous to bend the retainer open and free the wiring bundle slightly, so it

can be moved a bit, if necessary, to make room for the new components.

Next, look carefully at the connector pins on your USB Interface and the female

plug end on the flat connector wiring bundle coming from the keyboard. Note that

one pin position, called the Key Pin, has been left blank on both. At this point on

the female plug, there is no hole, and on the USB Interface connector, there is no

pin. Attach the plug firmly to the hard disk, being absolutely certain that these

Key Pin positions match.

Note: When only the hard disk was installed in your keyboard, the keyboard’s plug

may have been connected with the hard disk’s pins facing toward the keyboard’s

keys. But now, the keyboard’s plug connector attaches to the USB Interface board

near the rear inside (back) edge of the keyboard, i.e. facing the opposite direction.

This is correct. What is important is that everything must be oriented so that

wiring and new components can be installed without using force, which could cause

component damage. At this point, it might be useful to make a trial fit, to see that

everything goes into the compartment easily, and that cover plate holes align with

keyboard holes, without compressing anything. It is easiest to tilt the rear

keyboard connector side of the USB Interface downward, slipping it under the rear

edge of the open compartment, and then lowering the front edge of the assembly

into place.
