	[* black] To connect the new hard drive, we need to modify some cables. The cables you need are included in our [product\|IF107-070\|Terabyte drive kit].

+	[* black] The hard drive has a standard 15 pin SATA power connection, but the logic board has a 6 pin slim SATA power connection. A cable to connect them doesn't exist (yet), so we're going to make one.
	[* black] The two cables you need are:
-	[* black] 15 pin SATA power to 4 pin female Molex power.
-	[* black] 6 pin SATA power to 4 pin female Molex power.

+	[* black] 15 pin SATA power to 4 pin Molex power.
+	[* black] 6 pin SATA power to 4 pin Molex power.
