Well, I got everything save for the Video Card and exterior peripherals hooked up. Now, here's where I hit a major snag: Wiring.
I don't trust myself when it comes to wiring anything, (even Redstone Wiring in Minecraft gives me the sweats.) so, fearing I might short out all the parts should I make a single mistake when I plug the PSU into the surge protector, I might have to hire a professional for this part. I hope these forums can provide a solution to this dilemma.
The Problem: Where and How to hook up the cables involving the Motherboard, the PSU and the Case (it has some wire hookups as well) neatly and effectively.
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Case: BitFenix Comrade ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
The Motherboard Manual shows a illustration on page 23 about where to hook the Power Switch, Reset Switch, Status Indicator, etc. I know where to hook those, but what about the H.D.D LED? No plus or minus, so what slot should that be connected in?
No clue how to hook up the USB 2.0 and 3.0 since the case also has one of each to be hooked up along with the ones on the Motherboard.
The HD AUDIO cable from the case goes to the HD_AUDIO1 port on the Motherboard, right?
Motherboard Manual: Page 1. #23
I seem to have a cable that came with the Motherboard that is "Designed for SATA3 6Gb/s"
Isn't that the cable I'm to hook my Storage and SDD to? Or do I need to buy another cable to hook the SDD in as well?
Let's not worry about the PSU Cables just yet, let's just focus on the Motherboard and Case wiring.
A detailed step-by-step tutorial regarding these specific parts and how to wire them together properly would be grateful.
EDIT: I have a Rosewill 5.25" 2 Port USB 3.0 / 4 Port USB 2.0 Hub / eSATA Multi-in-1 Internal Card Reader. If that means anything to the wiring process.
