PIN CONNECTIONS
1.
Position the PSU

screws.
into the case. Secure it from the outside with 4 case
2.
Connect the large 24pin motherboard power connector. Make sure the clip snaps closed
securing
the
connector. `
3.
Connect the 4pin or 8pin 12v motherboard power connector. Again make sure the clip snaps
closed to secure the connector.
4.
Connect the Molex connectors. This will include any IDE devices (in the video the optical drive
uses a Molex power connector). If you have any trouble inserting them, try slightly angling
them as you inset them to match the male and female
connections.
5.
Connect the SATA power cable into any SATA devices (in the video the Hard Drive uses a SATA
power connector). They should slide in very easily and
will not 'click'.
6.
Connect any 6pin PCI-e connectors (not in video) which are usually used for Graphics cards.
Never force anything. If a cable doesn't feel like it will go in, stop and make sure that the grooves and notches or pins and holes all
match up.
SATA Steps
1.
Take your SATA cable and connect it to the port on the Hard
Drive. Look for the L shape of the connector and match it
with the same shape on the drives port.
2.
Now take the other end and connect it to the first SATA port
on your motherboard, usually named SATA1. if you are not
sure which port is SATA1, refer to the motherboard manual.
As before, match up the L shape on both sides of the
connection.
IDE Steps
1.
Take your IDE cable and take a look at it. Most have 3 ports on them,
1 at each end and then another one close to one end. Take the end
with only 1 port and plug this into the motherboard, observing both
the groove and missing pin hole on the connector and matching up
with the corresponding gap and missing pin on the motherboard port
(as per the video).
2. Take the other end and plug the port at the very end of the cable into
your Optical drive observing the same guidelines as before.
The third connector is for connecting a second drive if and when you choose to do so. If you
do install another drive on this connector, make sure to set the Master/Slave jumper as
described below.
