Ok, I'm at the point now that I have the Hard Drive LED light and there are orange and white wires going to the front panel connectors. One is positive and one negative, my guess is the orange is the positive and white the negative. The only reason I'm asking here is because the, wtf do you call it, CI connector that makes sure if you open the side panel without you knowing its a safety device against rip-offs. Wait let me check, brb. Yeah, it's CI and those wires are black and white. I figure black is usually negative. On the power connector the wires are red and black and I figure that's red positive and black negative, doy! What time is it? Doy!
Ok, I'm ready to put the thermal grease on the CPU chip and the Zalman cooler, but I want a gopher to be here so I can do it, but it's 12:45 am now and I can't find one handy. Alright, I can see that there are some people here that do know the answers better than I do, and I'm not that high on my horse to admit it. Ok, maybe I'll wait for your response on the CPU cooler, no one gave a correct response, and on the orange and white hard drive LED connector, positive or negative?
Any more help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, attilathehun1
The answers to your questions have always been at your fingertips
and they are in the manuals and booklets that accompany the computer
case, the motherboard, etc. Reading the manuals, you might learn that
the polarity does not matter with the CI (Chassis Intrusion) switch.
Or what are the color is the "common". But there is no guarantee that
the wiring color schemes are the same from one person's kit to that
of another. The hard drive LED is many of the systems I wire are red
and black and not orange and white.
Be brave...read and gather as much information as possible and give
it your best shot. And, BTW, there are many different brands of HSF's
to choose and I do not use Zalman's. Sorry, can't help you there but
if I were installing one, I would follow the directions, look it over
very closely including checking the airflow of the fan, make a "dry"
install to make sure it looks right according to the instructions and
drawings, and then do the final installation.
Remember, any neophyte is entitled to make mistakes. The price of one
in building a first computer is roughly the same as having a pro do the
job and learning how to build the next one. Good luck.
