After you've unplugged both ends of the data cable, plug each end back in, just as you found them.

Important: Don't try to reseat every data cable at the same time or you're likely to get confused about which cable went where. If you were to accidentally connect a device to a different port on the motherboard, there's a good chance you could change the way it's configured which may cause your computer to stop booting properly.
