Just as every cable has a pin 1, all connectors on devices, adapters, or motherboards have
a pin 1. Pin 1 on a cable inserts into pin 1 on a connector. Cables are normally keyed so that
they insert only one way. Some manufacturers stencil a 1 or a 2 by the connector on the moth-
erboard or adapter; however, on a black connector, it’s
difficult to see the small number. Numbers on adapters
are easier to distinguish. When the number 2 is etched
beside the adapter’s connector, connect the cable’s pin
1 to this side. Remember that pins 1 and 2 are always
on the same side, whether on a connector or on a
cable. Some technicians use a permanent marker to
label a cable’s function. Figure 4.6 shows an example of
a stenciled marking beside an adapter’s connector. Figure 4.6 illustrates the number 2 etched
onto the adapter, but other manufacturers stencil a higher number, such as 33, 34, 39, or 40,
beside the opposite end of the connector.

Motherboard connectors are usually notched so that the cable inserts only one way; how-
ever, not all cables are notched. Some motherboards have pin 1 (or the opposite pin) labeled.
Always refer to the motherboard documentation for proper orientation of a cable into a moth-
erboard connector. Figure 4.7 shows the motherboard connectors used for the thin cables
shown in Figures 4.3 and 4.4. These connectors commonly have hard drives and optical drives
attached. Figure 4.8 show three other motherboard connectors that are notched.
Snug connections
When connecting cables to a motherboard or
internal components, ensure that each cable is
connected tightly, evenly, and securely.
