7.PCI-E graphics cards use different amounts of power. For some, a single 6-pin connector is sufficient, and the hardwired connector is the preferred choice. More powerful cards use multiple connectors, including the advanced 8-pin PCI-E connector. The 8-pin PCI-E connector on your CP-850 can be used as either a 6- or 8-pin connector.

8.Hard drives, optical drives (CD/DVD/BluRay™), and other accessories will use either the older 4-pin Molex connector or the newer 15-pin SATA connector. 4-pin Molex connectors have two black wires, a yellow, and a red. The SATA connector has an additional orange power wire.

9.When you have all the connections secured, turn the switch on the PSU to the “” position. You are now ready to power up your computer.
