Need help reconnecting cable ribbon and power supply unit.?

I have an HP Pavilion a1423w desktop computer. My brother removed the power supply unit and the cable ribbon that has the printed letters "Master", "Motherboard", and "Slave". Does anyone know where I can get online visual schematics on how to reconnect these two pieces of hardware?

1. Connect motherboard to the motherboard, master to the main hard drive and slave to the secondary drive. It's universal for all IDE mobos and drives.
2. Just Try to match the size.....Motther board would go to the base board on the CPU, master would go on the HDD and slave is no used i think.. hope it helps
3. First answer by » ωĭĭρlυѕ¹° « is correct. If you need more info here is the servicing manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00311110.pdf other documents for your PC: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?product=1846453&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us regards, Philip T
