Next, connect your IDE cables (if you’re using IDE hard drives).
The colored stripe on the cable should face toward the top of your chassis, or
toward the big white B printed on the motherboard.
In Figure 3 you can see
how the IDE cables should
look when they are
connected to your hard
drive. Notice how Pin 1
(denoted by a red stripe) is
connected so that it is next
to the power connector of
the drive. In most cases,
this is the proper way of
connecting your IDE cable
to the hard drive. Figure 4
shows the IDE cable
properly connected to the
motherboard.
Contact your hard disk
drive manufacturer or
documentation for more
information.
