I think this group is for XP Hardware which certainly qualifies the poster and his post

I have had bad luck with power supplies, the
first a 350W unit must have been undersized
and it failed taking the HDD control board
with it.

The second was oversized but this failed
within 6 months, the room being filled with
smoke and an IDE DVD reader failed as well,
probably because of this.

Now I bought a "Toughpower" 750W "ATX 12V
2.2 & EPS" 12V unit with a 14cm fan with
"Imbedded Socket & Modularized Cable
Management".

The back of this unit has four banks of
sockets, vis: (L>R)

1/ "8pin + 12V power connector. (8-pin
socket).

2/ "6pin PCI-E connectors" sockets. (Two
sockets of 6pins each).

3/ "4pin peripheral & floppy power
connector". (two 6pin sockets.)

4/ "S-ATA connectors". (two six-pin
sockets.)

Additionally there is a large thick 24pin
cable leading from the unit which plugs into
the motherboard, and this I did.

I am not sure which cable plugs into the top
left hand side plug of the motherboard,
whether it's the one black/yellow cable that
runs with the 24pin one, or the "8pin+12V
power connector" socket-fed cable plugged
into the LHS of the power unit. Which one
should it be?

What do the "6pin PCI-E connector" sockets
feed? Do they have to be connected at all?

I have plugged the "4-pin Peripheral & Floppy
Power Connector" sockets to he DVD readers &
writers I have, and this seems to work OK.
Can I use the "S-ATA connectors" for this
too?

I am mainly confused as to where to plug in
the "6pin PCI express connector" which runs
alongside the 24pin plug cable.

Please help, Frank


Why ask here? What does this have to do with XP? Oh right, NOTHING.

Ask elsewhere
