Installing the Laptop IDE Adaptor

DataPro News > Questions
 August 10, 2006

To enable easy installation and removal of hard drives, virtually all laptops use adaptor clips that convert the universal 44-pin IDE connector to a snap-in module. This snap-in is what lets the hard drive slip in and out of the laptop case without the risk of breaking any IDE pins.

To attach the our Laptop IDE adaptor, you will first need to remove the contact clip (it will pull straight away from the drive). After this has been pulled off, the IDE pins will be revealed, and the IDE adaptor can be installed.
