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.

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.

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.
