Hi guys, my hard drive is currently not working (just bought another one online), but was wondering what is supposed to plug into this port marked with the arrow? The picture is attached in this thread.

The port on the left has the power adapter plugged in and the port on the far right has the IDE cable plugged in, but the one marked with the arrow has nothing plugged into it... why?

Is it supposed to have something plugged into it? Is it okay that nothing is plugged into it? I know very little about computers. Thanks for the help:)

Okay, awesome, thanks. I was wondering if that was the reason the hard drive wasn't working but now I know that had nothing to do with it. Thanks a bunch:)
