Connecting and Disconnecting Data Cables
Data cables are ribbon cables that connect to various components, cards, and boards in the
computer. When connecting data cables to devices, make sure the red stripe on the cable is
the side of the cable closest to the power connector (be aware that some of these connectors
are keyed while others are not).
Each end of a data cable is labeled, identifying the proper connection. For instance, the data
cable that connects the system board to the CD-ROM drive will be labeled CPU near the
connector that must be attached to the system board and CD-ROM near the connector that
must be attached to the CD-ROM drive. See Figure 4-3.
CAUTION:
to touch the system board's video chip, which may be hot if the computer has
been running.
Connecting and Disconnecting Audio Cables
Audio cables are thin cables that connect the CD-ROM drive to the TV Tuner Card and the system board, and
the modem card to the system board. These connectors are keyed, meaning that they can only be connected to
a socket one way. See Figure 4-4.
