There’s no other way to fire up your newly assembled computer without adding some power to your parts. This is the home stretch of the PC building process; just remember not to leave any components unplugged.
Make sure that the PSU is not plugged into a wall socket and that the switch on the power supply is set to meaning it’s off. Grab the 24-pin connection from the power supply and connect it to the motherboard’s power connector, located to the right of the memory slots. Pop it into place and gently tug to make sure it’s locked in securely.
Locate the four-pin ATX power connecter and hook it up to its appropriate socket; this will supply supplemental power to the processor.
We ran into a bit of an issue when connecting power to our GPU. The power supply we received only had one PCI-E power cable, so we hooked up an adapter to convert a 4-pin molex cord into the second six-pin PCI-E cable that the Radeon 4870 needs.
Lastly, plug in the thin SATA power cables into the hard drive and the optical drive. These are the flat power cables that resemble longer versions of the SATA data cable.
