Except this picture identifies them backwards. The larger connector of the two is the power connector. The smaller is the data connector.

I don't understand how to reverse the thermal connector. There's only one way to insert it; unless they mean to reverse the grey and black wires? Confused, but hoping I don't have any fan issues.

I had the same problem, i have the fan running at high speed, the connectors cannot be reversed. There is only one way to insert on either end.

Apple used more than 1 brand of hard drive, so some temperature sensor connectors are different.

I still don't understand the instruction to reverse the connector. A photo would be helpful. Does this mean to take the connector and turn it upside down from how it was originally connected? What if the socket for the connector will only allow it to be inserted in one manner? I've changed out my hard drive and the fan is on high all the time, so something is wrong, though I thought I had followed the instructions carefully.

Did you previously have a Toshiba hard drive in your iMac?
Scott Dingle -
Didn't reverse. I changed a 500GB Seagate Barracuda to a 2TB Seagate Barracuda with no issues. It would have been helpful if this article had indicated the old and new drive.

To do steps 10 and 11 I had to do 12 and 13 first so I could get my hands on the connectors to pull them out. It's quite a tight squeeze to get your hands in otherwise as there is Amytal bar restricting your ability to pull them all the way out.

I replaced the hard drive with an Samsung 840 EVO SSD. I used a Newer Technology Adaptadrive bracket (fit perfectly). Since the SSD doesn't have a temperature sensor, I used a suggestion on this forum to just short the sensor plug with a small piece of wire and tape the connector down out of the way against the iMac's case. Works perfectly, and the fans run at minimum speed (verified with http://www.crystalidea.com/macs-fan-cont... ). I wouldn't recommend shorting the sensor for a mechanical hard drive, but for an SSD (which runs cool anyway) there shouldn't be any problem.

I perfectly agree with you, I replace too the origin HD with an Samsung EVO 840 1T, no shorting of the sensor, without problems. I just set the fan control with Macs fan control !

I am planning on upgrading & replacing the HDD with a SSD. I don't have the Apadtadrive bracket but I have this SABRENT 2.5 to 3.5 Inches Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Kit (BK-HDDH). Will this be fine? Here is the link to the product on Amazon (http://tinyurl.com/jkjnk6q)

I'm trying to replace Seagate 500Gb drive with a new WD 1Tb drive. Can not fit the thermal connector to the WD drive. How does one fit it??
Lee Harris - Contestar
You need to replace the Seagate with another Seagate or use software to control the fans.
Scott Dingle -
On reassembly, I found there was no place on the hard drive to plug the connector in. Like u, I got a WD drive from iFixit, whereas the Mac came with a Seagate. So i just left the thermal connector dangling. Following startup, however, I am not getting fan noise.
Peter Shenkin -
Whoops. I take back what I said about no fan noise. Eventually it started back up....
Peter Shenkin -
Note - If you’re replacing the conventional HDD with an SSD, and using the appropriate thermal coupler, you only need to detach the sensor from the main board, you can leave the other end on the Hard Drive you’re removing. This also means that you have no need to worry about the orientation of the connector.
