Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive

your ATX system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1 (A). If you have already
installed an HDD, you can use the free connector on
its IDE cable.

Note: Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that
they can only be installed correctly on the device
connector. If the connector is not keyed, make sure
that you match the pin-1 side of the cable connector
with the pin-1 side of the device connector. Each
connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The
pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked
with a colored stripe on the cable.
3. Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD
drive IDE connector (B). It doesn't matter which con-
nector on the cable you use.
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into
the power connector on the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C).
