So, i recently got a bunch of pc hardware, one of them being a beast of an dell computer, being my first hand on experience with that machine, one of the part's being a sd card bay to mount in one of the floppy drive section's, how should that look like when its mounted in such a tower? like whats the cable type and plug.

If its this type of thing, then probably needs a USB connector...

Its very similar looking to that, it's in black however. the cable has a flat end connector.

Like either of these ?

well, i am trying to find it on the board, but don't know where it sit's.

There seem to be two possible options - FlexBay connector (#9) & uDOC connector (#19)
