Hard drive and optical drive cables and connectors
The hard drive and optical drive connectors are located near the middle of the computer, partially
under the main display bracket. Each connector is secured with two Torx screws and has two cables
that connect to the system board.
The optical drive connector cables are longer than the hard drive connector cables.
