Installation of a PSU

Post by Nobby01 »

Hi,
I have watched 'Ultimatehandyman's, 'youtube' video with great enthusiasm. Thank You.
However, I never noticed the Connection Leads which I have being installed?. These are:-
A Multiple set of 4.leads.I believe they come under 'Peripheral Sata'?. The Leads I disconnected from my Recent Broken Down PSU unit came from what looked to be a set connected to the case Front & rear?.. There was 1.Yellow,2. Black,1.Red.These cables ran to a Large connector,as well as a Much smaller one.I got no problem with the Larger connector.ONLY, the smaller one.As I do not really know where it came off of? Can you help Please?

PSU's come with spare leads to fit a multiple build, I too have a small flat plug left over at the end of a multi power lead with same colours it could be the 4 pin to power to a floppy disc drive.

The unused connectors are simpy left disconnected. Tie them out of the way.

Yeah, if it can be connected somewhere, connect it.
If not just tie it out the way.

If your pc turns on you did it right.
