I've pretty much put together my new computer. (Waiting for RAM to show up tomorrow.) But there's something I'm completely clueless about.
I have cords from my case for power, reset, spkr, and HDD led. And I found those pins on the motherboard.
But they aren't keyed. What direction am I supposed to plug these cords in? Both directions fit equally well, and I'm lost.
There are also two cords for '+' and '-'. I found what looks like the pins for those, but the labeling is very small and I don't have a magnifying glass. It looks like there are two pins for '-' and one pin for '+'. Is this true? Does it matter?
There are also lots of cords for AC'97 and HD Aud. I don't know where to plug these in; but if I don't plan on using my front panel audio connectors (I bought an Audigy 2, I don't even know if those cords will work with that card), do I even need to bother with them? Can I just leave them unplugged?
I admit I don't even know what AC'97 means.
Thanks for your help. =)
