Help-new ide interface

[psul]

Help!!! just got one of the new ide interfaces and about to install,but-

following the picture guides here

http://www.dbox2.net/html/ide-interface.html

and there are 2 wires that solder to the legs of 2 components on the main board (for 27v and gnd).However on my box those components are not present although everything else looks the same.So do I solder to the indicated points on the board or is there an alternative point?

There is no need to solder anything at all

Did you also order the hdd mounting kit?

@psul
You can choose via jumper if you want power via modemport or the 27v line of the mainboard.
If 0.7A is enough from the modem port for your harddisk, you don't have to solder the connection for the 27v line.
The power consumption of a 3.5 inch hdd is normally too high for both options and there is no adapted 12v line..
