Look at the ribbon cable. Most new boards and drives come with the cables "keyed" so that they will only fit in a certain way but their are a few that do not. On the cable a red line should be running down one side of it. This is to indicate which line is the Pin 1 connector. Pin 1 should be connected to Pin 1 on the drive and on the motherboard. If you cannot find where pin 1 is on either, check out the manual but usually it is printed right near the connector.
