Dilly man 2 · 11-10-2005, 10:38 PM

k, i opened my antec psu, the new NEO he one. "read sig for all specs"

now i have some cables, unmarked, only by wire colors.

FIRST WIRING
it has 4 sperate wires, colors are: orange black red black yellow. in that order.
Now this has 3 conection spots, one on each and and one in the middle. one of the end one looks like it connects to the mobo, it is double stacked with 3 holes on each layer. so 6 holes total.
the middle wire is smaller and has no holes, just one long oval with little wires in it. this peice is around 3/4 of an inch long.
The last connector is like the middle only longer. same lenght only a little longer.

what is that wire for? "im guessing harddrive...

SECOND WIRING:

this wire has 2 connection spots, they both are double stacked with 3 holes on each layer, 6 holes on each side of the wire. The colors are as follows,
3 black, 3 half yellow half black. on one side it says "PCI-E"

THIRD WIRING:
Short wire, around 4-5 inches long. one side has 2 plugs, both are the same, 4 holes with wire on the inside and 4 wires on top. the wire colors are red, black, black, yellow. this cable is split and the wires meet on the other side to a big plug, with four little wires sticking out.

FOURTH WIRING:

weird cable, 4 connections, the first 3 are zigzagged. the zigzagged ones all are the same. 2 red, 4 black, 2 yellow. these colors are stack by color in 2's.

the end connection by itself is a fatter plug. 6 holes that are stcked in 2's.

help?
lol im sorry
-Joe

sweet thanks alot.

Dilly man 2 · 11-10-2005, 11:24 PM

so i have 4 fans in the case, it has 2 four pin molex connectors, one a female and one a male.
i used the 4 male 4pin molexes on the fans and i used a female 4pin on the drive. i used both the piggyback cables
is that right? because i dont think the haddric will get anything from my piggy back cables so i think thats right, now i have 3 left over female 4pins that go where?, the mobo?

EDIT:
my mobo is shipping to my as we speak.
Now does that little speaker connect to the mobo?
and does my reset, power and led connecters go to the mobo as well?

also, i think this cable goes to the graphics and mobo but im not sure....
one set of wire with 6pin PCI ecpress graphic card and the other 6pin PSU connector goes to the psu?

AND, i have 2 sets of wires with 2 SATA drive connectors at one end and a 6pin PSU connector at the other...WHERE THE F*** DOES THAT GO?

The plug ins are kinda fool proof, cant really plug in wrong, it either fits or not, Most P/S will have left over plugs for future upgrades, some higher end video cards do have a power plug so it doesnt have to pull so much from the bus.Once you get your stuff you'll see its pretty simple

Dilly man 2 · 11-10-2005, 11:50 PM

ok thanks, ill wait for now

Dilly man 2 · 11-11-2005, 01:13 AM

another question, my hardrive didnt come with anything but itself.
do i need a disk or cables?

and does this mobo come with the nessesary cables to connect the cd drive and hardrive? you know, those fat wires that are all conected together, looks like tape or whatever...

your power supply should come with the power adapters, but you will need an IDE or SATA cable.

Dilly man 2 · 11-11-2005, 01:28 AM

i do have 2 sets of SATA drive connectors. One end is a 6pin PSU connector and the other is the drives slots.
should that be for my harddrive?

EDIT:
i got the power going to the harddrive, but what is the "DELTA" slot for?
i dont think i have that, i cant find a similar male connector.

also, male and female is the same as wall-recepricals? the like outlet is the female and the male is the plug?
saying i dont want power coming from the male because the power will be out of a plug thats not being used and may short out something? just want to make sure
thanks again

Or SATA optical drives.

Correct.

Power flows from female to male.
