14.3.1 Identifying the Hard Drive Interface Cable
The hard drives have separate power and interface cables. Both cables have two
inline connectors to support up to two drives. The power cable is a Y cable that
connects to the motherboard at IDE PWR and the other ends to the hard drives and
optical drive. The interface cable connects the hard drives to the motherboard. The
interface cable is an 80-conductor ribbon cable that is routed through the chassis.
