I'm installing a SATA hard drive to replace one that crashed. I took out the old one almost a month ago.

I have the new hard drive mounted, the SATA cord connected, but the white power supply cord is zip tied in with a bunch of other cords.

I don't see any other power cord, I don't know which one attached to my old hard drive.

Hello..if the old drive was a sata drive..did it use the white 4 pin wire or does the power supply have the black sata power plug..either way..if the power plugs dont reach..just clip the zip tie..not gonna hurt anything..just keep the wires away from the fans..hope this helps
