Cabling the Devices
The IDE Cable
Depending on your configuration, your server may come with one or several three-
connector IDE interface cables.
Each IDE connector on the motherboard supports two devices.
The addition of a device to an IDE connector does not require the replacement of the
existing IDE cable.
The following figure shows a typical three-connector IDE cable. If the IDE cable is not
keyed with a connector tab, align the coloured edge (Pin 1) of the cable with the pin 1
side of the drive connector.
The S-ATA Cable
Depending on your configuration, your system may come equipped with a S-ATA
cable.
The following picture shows a S-ATA cable. Black side goes to hard disk drive; blue
side goes to motherboard.
