Installing the Hardware, Part 4: Internal Cables

Before we move on to the floppy disk drive, there is one small, very easily forgetable, detail to take care of: a cable that attaches the CD drive to the sound card.
It does not matter which end goes in which device: One end goes into the CD drive…
…the other goes into the sound card. If you happen to forget this detail, your system won’t play CD music.
Next, screw the floppy disk drive into its place in the case.
Floppy drives use a different kind of cable from IDE devices. This is what it looks like
It is similar to the IDE cable in that the long end attaches to the motherboard…
…and the short end attaches to the drive.
