Panarchy Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Um... where do the Sata Harddrive and SATA DVD Drive go? I know they go in those red ports (on the MB) but I don't know which goes where. Do the DVD ones go in the top row and the HD ones go in the bottom? Please reply. Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellboundIRL Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 It doesn't really matter which ones they go into.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Panarchy Funny that you should ask, I was just looking it up in the manual. :D Plug the Hard Drive in the RED one (closest to the heatsink thats right next to it) Plug the DVD in the BLACK one right below it.

Hook up the case's fans to the motherboard Things left to do: Install the Graphics Card (will be buying it tomorrow, an 8800GTS (v2) 512MB (G92 Boot up my computer (wish me luck!) Update the BIOS Install the OS's (6 OS's on one drive!) that I need (and partition the drive) Install the software that I need (including the software included with the DVD burner & motherboard) WOOT! One step away! (till I finish hardware, and software is a piece of cake [that's where my 'genius' lies :p :lol: :D]) Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shihchiun Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'd hold off on updating the BIOS, unless you actually have a reason to. It's one of those things you should really leave alone if it's working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
