A47 USB over Ethernet Adapter Set

Although this cable adapter set can be used with Ethernet cable length up to 150 feet per the manufacturer's specification, any cable length over approximately 5 feet or 1.5 meters should be used with a powered USB hub. This is because a USB port alone does not supply enough voltage to go the greater distance. The setup should be:

Device -> Female USB to Ethernet Adapter -> Cat5/5e/6 cable -> Male USB to Ethernet Adapter -> Powered USB Hub -> PC

A56 SATA to eSATA Cable (Red)
A57 eSATA to eSATA Cable (Black)

Plug the cable into each device. For the eSATA to SATA cable, locate the correct side of the cable for each device. The connectors are marked eSATA and SATA. Be sure to push the cable straight in, not at an angle. No drivers or software are necessary.

A58 2 Port 15 Pin SATA Splitter Power Cable

*** This is not a complete tutorial on working inside a computer case. There are many sensitive components in a computer system and HDE is not responsible for any damage caused. It is the user's responsibility to familiarize himself with the computer's internal parts and how not to damage them. ***

Before working inside a computer case, turn off the power button on the back (if one is present) and unplug the machine from the wall outlet. Press the "on" button for 10 seconds to discharge any power. Remove the case cover. Touch the metal case to ground yourself to it. Electrostatic discharge, or static shocks, can damage components at levels you can't even feel. Consider purchasing an anti-static wrist strap for working inside a computer case.
Install the SATA Splitter Power Cable by connecting it to a 4-pin Molex connector coming from the power supply and to the SATA devices. Be sure to push the power connecters straight in, not at an angle. You may need to use a some force, but be careful. Make sure all the connectors are completely secured before replacing case cover.
Power the machine back on.
No drivers or software are necessary.

Notes:
Determine where to install your drive so that the power and data cables will reach the power supply connectors and motherboard, respectively. It is usually helpful to install the drive before connecting the cables, although it is fine to connect the cables first and then put the drive in place.
You may need to configure your BIOS to detect or enable the drive(s) you connected. Enter the make and model of your motherboard into a search engine to find instructions on how to work with the BIOS.

It is the user's responsibility to familiarize himself with the computer's internal parts and how not to damage them. ***

Connect the square 4-pin socket side of the cable to the square 4-pin plug coming from your ATX power supply. (There are two types of connectors with 4 pins coming from the power supply. One type powers drives and has 4 pins in a row. The one dealt with here has four pins in a square shape, 2x2. It supplies an additional 12 volts of power to your CPU.)

Connect the 8-pin plug on the cable to the 8-pin socket on your board. Make sure all cables are seated correctly, and close the case back up.

A63 & A64 VGA to S-Video/RCA-Out from PC to TV

Before you begin, you will need the following:

A graphics/video card that supports TV-out. In order to get output from your computer to display on your TV, you MUST have a graphics/video card that supports the TV-out function through your VGA port. Check the manufacturer's website, the manual for the card, or search the internet to find out if your card supports this function.
Either an S-Video or RCA cable (depending on the connection you will make).
A TV with an S-Video or RCA input jack.
Your PC and a monitor

Once you have determined if your graphics/video card supports TV-out, you can start setting up the connection. The best practice is to match the connectors on both ends, matching plugs to plugs. For example, if your TV only has S-Video input, you will use the S-Video connector on this cable to hook the PC to the TV. If you have both S-Video and an RCA (composite) input, then use the RCA input because it will give a higher-quality picture.

1. Plug the cable into your PC, then into your TV. Use the TV's settings menu to adjust the input method for the TV.
2. Enter the 'Display Properties' menu in your PC by right-clicking the desktop (choose Properties), or by going through the Control Panel. In the Display Properties window, the Settings tab will have the settings you will need to adjust to get an image on the TV. Otherwise, you will need to use the software that came with the graphics/video card to adjust the output signal so that you can get a display on the TV. This software may be linked to your Display Properties window, or you may need to access it separately.

A65    6+7 Pin SATA to IDE Power/SATA Data Cable

Electrostatic discharge, or static shocks, can damage components at levels you can't even feel. Consider purchasing an anti-static wrist strap for working inside a
computer case.
Connect the SATA 6+7 pin Cable to the port on your SATA drive. Connect the other end to an available Molex/IDE 4-pin connector coming from the power supply. Connect the data cable to the system board. Be sure to push the power connecters straight in, not at an angle. You may need to use a some force, but be careful. Make sure all the connectors are completely secured before replacing case cover.
No drivers or software are necessary.

A74 ATA 40 Pin IDE Hard Drive Ribbon Cables

*** This is not a complete tutorial on working inside a computer case. There are many sensitive components in a computer system and HDE is not responsible for any damage caused. It is the user's responsibility to familiarize himself with the computer's internal parts and how not to damage them. ***

Before working inside a computer case, turn off the power button on the back and unplug the machine. Press the "on" button for 10 seconds to discharge any power. Remove the case cover. Touch the metal case to ground yourself to it. Electrostatic discharge, or static shocks, can damage components at levels you can't even feel. Consider purchasing an anti-static wrist strap for working inside a computer case.
Install the Ribbon Cable by locating the IDE (also called ATA, PATA, or EIDE) connector on the motherboard. Align the notch on the cable with the notch on the connector. If there is no notch on the connector, examine the motherboard surface around the connector's corners for a "1" printed on it. This marks Pin 1, which corresponds to the red stripe on one edge of the Ribbon Cable. Connect the other end to your drive the same way. The cable is keyed/notched to only fit one way. To set up two drives on the same cable, one must be configured (via its jumpers) as the Master drive and the other as a Slave drive. Generally, hard drives should be set as Master and optical drives as Slaves when connecting one of each on the same cable. Examine each drive's case to determine how to set the jumpers. After you have set the jumpers correctly, determine how to place each drive inside the case so that the ribbon cable can reach both.
Be sure to push the connecters straight in, not at an angle. You may need to use a some force, but be careful. Make sure all the connectors are completely secured before replacing case cover.
Power the machine back on.

Notes:
Determine where to install your drives so that the power and data cables will reach the power supply connectors and motherboard, respectively. It is usually helpful to install the drive before connecting the cables, although it is fine to connect the cables first and then put the drive in place.
