Installing the new drive |

The final stage was to connect the final ribbon cable in place between the two highlighted sockets - which were both polarized, making it easy to figure out how the ribbon cable should be installed. |

This close-up shows the way that the ribbon cables are different in the number of pins. It also shows the loop of ribbon cable which is actually just underneath the sloping area that leads to the disk drive. |
