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. It doesn't matter which connector
on the cable you use. Ensure that the pin-1 side of the
cable is matched with the pin-1 side of the connector.
Refer to the previous note.
4. Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD
drive to connect to the mainboard CD-in connector
CD1 or CD2.
5. Plug a power cable from the case power supply into
the power connector on the CD-ROM/DVD drive.
When you first start up your system, the BIOS should auto-
matically detect your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn’t, enter
the Setup Utility and configure the CD-ROM/DVD drive that
you have installed. See Chapter 3 for more information.
