4.6 Drive Installation
The SpinPoint P80 hard disk drive can be installed in an AT-compatible system in two ways:
• To install the drive with a motherboard that contains a 40-pin AT-bus connector, connect the drive to the
motherboard using a 40-conductor or a 80-conductor ribbon cable. Ensure that pin 1 of the drive is
connected to pin 1 of the motherboard connector. For UDMA mode 2 or higher, use a 80-conductor
ribbon cable.
• To install the drive in a system without a 40-pin, AT-bus connector on its motherboard, an AT-bus
adapter kit is required. The kit includes an adapter board and a ribbon cable to connect the board to the
drive.
Figure 4-7 indicates the cable and power cord connections required for proper drive installation.
