this is of no help I can't show you, but I can tell you how;

Most connectors are keyed, so you can't put 'm on the wrong way.
Pin 1 is the red line.

Master/Slave CONNECTOR doesn't matter much. I believe master goes on Top, slave in the middle.
The connector furtest AWAY goes on the mainboard

FDD:

1. The red line goes on Pin 1 of the mainboard. (Inspect mainboard closely or use the manual, no excuses)
2. If you do not connect the FDD end of the cable properly, you will see the light constantly shining

HDD:

1. Keyed, same as mainboard.

CDD

1. May be keyed, pin 1 is designated on either the sticker or the back of the CD/DVD drive.

Mainboard:

1. Keyed.

If you still need more information refer to your mainboard manual. that site shows how to build one i don;t need that
