Remove Data Interface Cable

Choose a device to work with (for example, one of your hard drives) and carefully unplug the data cable from both the device end and the motherboard end.

Note: There's no need to remove the entire cable from the computer - just unhook both ends. You're more than welcome to remove the entire cable if you plan on improving the cable management inside your computer but it's not necessary to successfully reseat your cables.
