ATX POWER INSTALLATION

Now the PSU is in, the front panel cables are all connected, and your USBs are firing, it’s time to add some power to your system’s main hardware. First up on the list is the 24-pin ATX power. You’ll recognize this cable simply by its sheer size. Most power supplies come with a 24-pin that splits up into two segments: a 20-pin and a 4-pin. This is to support older motherboards that don’t require the full 24-pin power. However, our system very much does. Simply clip the additional 4-pin power into place on to the side of the 20-pin cable, note the latch on the cable, line it up with the notch on the motherboard, and push it into place. Job done – first cable all sorted.
