If you are not using cable select and instead are using a
standard ATA interface cable, configure the drive as a
master or a slave as shown in Figure 1.
Attaching cables
Figure 2 on page 6 shows the locations of the drive connectors.
1. Make sure the computer is off.
2. Put on a grounded wrist strap.
3. Connect the remote LED (optional). If you want to connect
the drive-activity indicating LED of your computer front panel to
the drive, attach the two-wire LED connector cable from the case
to pins 9 (–) and 10 (+) of jumper block J8 (shown in Figure 1).
4. Attach the power cable. Connect a system power cable to
the 4-pin power connector.
5. Attach the interface cable. Note that the cable length must
be 18 inches or less.
Caution. Connector misalignment can damage the computer
and the drive.
One-drive system using standard ATA 40-pin interface cable:
Connect one end of the cable to the computer’s host adapter
card or the hard drive connector located on the motherboard,
and the other end to interface connector J1 on the drive. Align
pin 1 on each cable connector with pin 1 on its matching
equipment connector. (Typically, an edge-stripe on the cable
denotes cable lead 1 going to pin 1). Pin 1 of J1 on the drive
is identified in Figure 2.
