4.2GB Deskstar 5 EIDE Hard Drive - Problem plugging in the IDE 2-drop cable

Applicable to: World-Wide

Product: Deskstar 5 4.2GB EIDE Hard drive
Option p/n: 01K1278
FRU p/n: 02K1146

Problem:
IDE hard drive cable will not plug into IBM PC300GL, machine type 6591, 6X6 series riser card (secondary IDE connector). Clips on the IDE 2-drop cable prevent the cable from passing through the cut-out in the system's chassis to plug into the back of the Riser.

Resolution:
If you remove the clip (which allows you to lengthen the cable and obtain access to the second IDE connector on the IDE cable), it will plug into the riser.
