Can you connect two computers by using straight cable?

If the Network Cards(NIC) has a feature called Auto-MDIX which is a computer networking technology that automatically detects the required cable connection type (straight-through or crossover) and configures the connection appropriately, thereby removing the need for crossover cables to interconnect switches or connecting PCs peer-to-peer.


Using a standard usb Cable to Connect 2 computers together will damage the computers?

Very possibly, YES IT WILL DAMAGE THE COMPUTERS. Beware USB A-A Male cables. Do NOT attempt to use these to interconnect 2 computers. They are only in existence at this point to connect very old first generation USB devices. At the time the spec either allowed or required the use type A connectors on both ends. The reason it doesn't work -- USB is designed to have 1 master only. A computer is a Master. If you connect 2 masters it will definitely NOT work and you may electrically short one or both machines. There are special USB A-A Male cables out there that will look a little different than you might expect. They'll likely have a bump or box of some kind in the cable or at one end or both end connectors. The intervening electronics are playing games with the signaling to make a connection, basically making the other computer appear to be a device not a computer. Also, usually there are specific drivers and/or software included with such a cable.


How can you tell if your VGA port is male or female?

if it has a separate cable both ends of the cable are male and in the back of the computer and the back of the monitor is female


What is the T-568 A AND T-568 A Ethernet wire?

T-568A and T-568B are two types of wiring for the connectors on ethernet cables. Both standards work fine, but you can not intermix the two types of connectors on a single cable. You can have mixed cables on a network as long as each individual cable is wired the same on both ends. (Example, one patch cable uses t568a on both ends, a different cable uses t568b on both ends, and a third uses a matching, but different color pinout) Some cable is labeled 568a or 568b. This means that the 4 twisted pairs (for a total of 8 little cables) inside the jacketed ethernet cable is made for a certain type of connection. For example, cat 6 cable is higher quality, rated for up to 10GB network use. There are more twists per inch of those little wire pairs inside the jacket of the cable to help reduce crosstalk and interference. I have some cat 6 cable labeled 568b, and of the 4 twisted pairs, some have more twists then others. corresponding to what the data pairs are in the cable. I assume this is a cost cutting measure as more twists means more wire inside of those ethernet cables. Better quality cable should have equal amounts of twists per inch so that either 568a or 568b connections can be used without having to worry about what the cable specifies.

How do you upgrading hdd?

Connect new hdd and check for proper jumper connection. Configure both HDD to master and slave if they are connected using same IDE cable or if they both have different set of IDE cables, then just connect the HDD and provide power cable from SMPS.. Similar for SATA HDD


What is the difference between master IDE and slave IDE?

In computing, the terms "master IDE" and "slave IDE" refer to the primary and secondary IDE devices connected to the IDE bus on a motherboard. The master IDE device is the main drive that controls the bus and handles data transfers, while the slave IDE device is a secondary drive that operates under the control of the master device. Each IDE channel can have one master and one slave device connected to it.


Difference between Master and Slave hard Drive?

When connecting to IDE drives (whether they be hard disk drives or optical drives) on the same cable, the computer needs to be able to tell them apart. When using a 40 wire IDE cable, you have to identify one drive as Master and the other as Slave. You do this by positioning the jumpers on the end of the drive according to the diagram on the drive itself. When using an 80 wire cable, set the jumpers on both drives to the 'cable select' position and their Master and Slave classifications will be determined by their position on the cable.

If a CD drive and a hard drive are sharing the same data cable in a computer system what type of connection is the CD driving using Which of the two drives should be set to master Which to slave?

Both drives are using the same interface (IDE, SCSI, not SATA I or II because you can only connect one device to a SATA cable). If you have installed Operating system it's better to set the hard drive to Master, and the CD drive to slave. In that way your system will not ask the CD drive to boot up everytime when you start your computer. CD drive should be set to Master only when you are reinstalling/installing OS or you have repair it.

How are slavery and indentured servitude alike?

Slavery and indentured servitude involve individuals working against their will, typically in service to someone else. Both systems deprive individuals of their freedom and subject them to harsh living and working conditions. However, in indentured servitude, individuals may have a contract specifying the terms of their labor and eventual release, whereas slavery typically involves lifelong bondage without such contractual agreements.


What is the list called between Master and Slave that Slave is willing to do?

This is called a "Contract". It includes the timeframe for service (can be anything from a day to the rest of a person's life) and expectations that both parties have (that Master will care for slave mentally and physically, that slave will be obedient to Master in all things...etc.) It may (or may not) include the limits that a slave has, and the activities that a Master will not perform.

Sata drives can a optical drive be master when its a ide?

An IDE Drive is not the same as a SATA drive, for starters. If you want your optical drive to be the master on an IDE channel you can jumper it to make it such. The second drive on the IDE channel must then be jumpered as a slave. If the optical drive is the only drive on the channel then it ought to be jumpered as the master. Alternatively, you may be able to set both drives to "Cable Select" and let the cable position determine the priority. This presumes that your ribbon cable is of a newer design and supports this option.
