Double-check your work; you must ensure the side of the SCSI cable with
the red stripe is matched to pin 1 on the interface board and on the drive.
The easiest way to install your SCSI cable is to plug it into the SCSI connector on the
rear panel of the drive before you insert the drive into your computer. Then you can
thread the cable through the front of the open bay you plan to use and back toward
the SCSI interface board. Connect the cable to your SCSI interface board and finish
mounting your drive in the proper position. The drive should slide smoothly into the
bay. If it does not, check for obstructions in the bay and ensure the side rails (if needed)
are attached properly.
You now need to make the power connection. In most computers you will find
additional power connectors that are ready for use. Check the cable running from
your power supply to your hard disk and see if it has extra connectors on it. If so, you
can plug one of these into the power connector found on the rear panel of the
CD-ROM drive.
