6. Plug one connector of the IDE cable into the IDE connector on the rear panel of
the drive before you insert the drive into your computer. Then thread the cable
through the front of the open bay and back toward the motherboard. The drive
should slide smoothly into the bay. If it does not, check for obstructions in the
bay and ensure the side rails are attached properly.
7. If not already connected, attach the other end of the IDE ribbon cable to the
connector on the motherboard.
Figure 15: Connecting the IDE Ribbon Cable
CAUTION: With some IDE ribbon cables, it is easy to accidentally plug your IDE
cable upside down into both your drive and the motherboard. Be sure you match
the red stripe along one side of the IDE cable to Pin 1 on the motherboard and Pin
1 on the drive. (Pin 1 on the drive is closest to the power connector.) Note that
each connector on most ribbon cables also has a “key” in the middle. This key
should fit into a slot in the middle of each connector of the motherboard, your PX-
504A drive, and any other internal IDE peripherals.
