Locate the cooling fan connector (e.g. CPU Fan) on the motherboard. Plug the
CPUs cooling fan cable into the cooling fan connector on the board. There will
be a plastic clip assembly similar to that of the ATX power connector that will
force you to connect the fan cable correctly (see Figure 2-7 on the previous
page).
5. Connecting IDE and Floppy Drives
The colored stripe on a ribbon cable should face toward the ATX Power
Connector on the motherboard. In Figure 2-8 below, 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. The primary IDE connector is black; the secondary IDE
connector is white. In most cases, this is the proper way of connecting your
IDE cable to the hard drive.
Figure 2-9 on the next page shows the IDE cable properly connected to the
motherboard. Contact your hard disk drive manufacturer or documentation for
more information.
ATA-66 IDE hard drives require a special 80 pin IDE cable which has additional
grounding wires. The cable is included and is required when using ATA-66
drives, this cable will also support all legacy IDE drives.
