IDE Cable Installation

In this section of the workshop we will be plugging the key hardware components like the hard drive, cd-rom, and other peripherals into the motherboard so they will be able to send data. These cables can can either be 40-pin or 80-pin. The computing market stopped using 40-pin about 6 years ago with windows 98.
