IDE cables
Your system comes with a three-connector IDE interface cable
attached to the standard hard disk and to the primary IDE connector
on the system board. A second three-connector IDE cable connects to
the standard CD-ROM reader and to the secondary IDE connector.
Each IDE connector on the system board supports two IDE devices.
The following figure shows a typical three-connector IDE cable.

If your IDE cable is not keyed with a connector tab, align the colored
edge of the cable with the pin 1 side of the drive connector and
system board IDE connector.
