width="200" height="258" alt="9.gif (34441 bytes)">There’re cables for the hard disk, the floppy drive, and for COM and parallel ports
(if they are not onboard). The cables have to be correctly aligned. Look for pin number 1,
marked with a "1" on the board for each connector. Align this to the red/blue
line on the cable

hard disk, the CD-ROM drive, and the floppy drive into their respective slots and put the
screws in place

red/blue edge is near the power socket. Likewise, the power connector goes in only one
way. The power connector for the floppy drive is smaller than that for other drives

drive). These connectors are very small and can tax your patience
