| Step 5.5 : Installing the Motherboard (cont'd)
 Getting To Know Your Power Supply
Before we move on to the next step, let's take a moment to know what are some of the different connectors found on common power supply units. Not all of the power connectors shown here are found in every modern power supply units. However, we hope that this little tutorial will help beginners understand more about the various types of connectors found with their power supplies and what they are used for
 Step 6 : Installing the Power Connectors
In order that your motherboard has power to boot up, you'll need to install two sets of power connectors from your power supply to the motherboard. Locate the ATX and ATX_12V power connectors on your motherboard and follow the procedures below:-
 Step 7 : Installing the Hard Disk Drives
In this next step, we'll show you how to connect the SATA hard disk drives to the motherboard. We'll assume that you already know how to physically install a hard disk drive to the casing. It's pretty straightforward, just find the appropriate internal 3.5-inch bays in the casing, insert the hard disk drive, align the screw locations to the ones on the casing, fasten the drive with screws and you're done installing the drive to the casing. Now, on to the more important details about the new SATA connector.
 Step 7.5 : Installing the Hard Disk Drives (cont'd)
By now, you'll notice that no mention was made about Master and Slave drives. For Serial ATA technology, there's absolutely not a need for any jumper manipulation since each drive is connected to the SATA port from one end to the other. This actually simplified the installation process as users need not worry about Master/Slave conflicts, cable types (40-conductor and 80-conductor) and specific cable orientation. Also, you'll notice that the cable is now much slimmer and this makes cable management simpler, in addition to clearing up more room for greater airflow within the casing. If you don't know yet, SATA provides greater band********** of up to 150MB/s while the parallel ATA standard has a maximum data band********** of only 133MB/s.
Now, let's continue with the SATA hard disk drive installation. We've connected the data cables to the drives, now let's connect the other end to the motherboard.
