German term or phrase: Ausbuchtung (Kontext)
IT, IDE controllers

a bulge / bulging

Explanation:
seems to me more a question of physical caracter than of genuine IT.
The plug-in is possible only in one way/direction because of that bulge (which probably has been intentionally made to prevent any other way to connect)

tongue

Explanation:
Ausbuchtung (Kabel) und Einkerbung (Port-Anschluss) sollten beide vorhanden sein, damit die 40 Kontakte in der richtigen Reihenfolge zusammengeschlossen werden (sonst funktioniert zB die Festplatte nicht!).
