They can only be inserted one way. If you have a Mac, or if you have a Windows PC with a 6-pin FireWire 400 port, you can use the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable. If your computer has a high-power USB 2.0 port, you can also use the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable. You can also use the optional iPod Dock (see page 23).
