The motherboard does not connect the power supply to the peripherals. The power is supplied directly to most peripherals such as HDDs and CD drives by cables from the power supply. Some special expansion cards, such as network cards, get enough power from the motherboard through the PCI slot to function.

Many/most motherboards have a separate power connector for the CPU. Check your motherboard's installation instructions to locate the CPU power connector. Then connect the matching power supply cable to the CPU power connector on the motherboard.


What is peripherals of motherboard?

Peripherals relative to a motherboard are: power supply unit, CPU, RAM, HDD/SSD, optical drive, graphic/sound/LAN cards (if not integrated).


How do you connect an ata 133 motherboard?

To connect an ATA 133 motherboard, first, ensure that the power supply is disconnected. Then, connect the motherboard to the power supply using the 24-pin main connector and the 4/8-pin CPU power connector. Next, attach the ATA 133 hard drive or optical drives using an ATA (IDE) cable, ensuring the drives are set to the correct master/slave configuration. Finally, connect any necessary peripherals and power on the system to ensure everything is functioning correctly.


What does the power supply connect to?

The power supply connects to various components within a computer or electronic device, primarily providing electrical power to the motherboard, CPU, graphics card, and storage devices. It typically has multiple connectors, including the 24-pin ATX connector for the motherboard, 4/8-pin connectors for the CPU, and SATA or Molex connectors for drives. Additionally, it may connect to cooling fans and other peripherals that require power.


What component connect to the motherboard use of the 24 pin connector?

power supply


You should connect the power cord from the power supply to the PS2 power connection on the motherboard?

To connect the power cord from the power supply to the PS2 power connection on the motherboard, locate the 4-pin connector on the power supply cable and line it up with the corresponding 4-pin PS2 power connection on the motherboard. Gently press and secure the connector into place until it clicks. Ensure the connection is secure and the power cord is properly routed to avoid any interference with other components.


Why the case and power supply must match the motherboard?

Case: Your motherboard must be able to fit in your case and must support your motherboard size (correctly placed standoffs). Power Supply: You can't have a shortage of power or else your power supply will get overloaded and "die", or even possibly explode for that matter.


What is a 20 pin ATX power connector?
