DTE / DCE cable?

Hi All, I just took delivery of a 3640 router with 4 port serial card, and 2 cables to connect to the serial ports of my 2 Cisco 1600r routers. The cables have DTE and DCE on either end, does it matter which end goes into the different routers? Planning to set them up as end points with the 3640 as a frame relay router.

TIA
