hi
my case is an old HAF 922 i think
motherboard - msi gaming 5
id like a bit of guidance in connecting cables pls
i have connected the ssd into the bottom port on the motherboard and cd drive into the female sata port above it
and its plugged into the lowest number >> SATA1_2
is this correct pls?
there is a sata cable coming from the top front of the case, im not sure what this is for
im thinking to connect this into SATA3_4 .. into the bottom port
im not sure where to connect these 2 cables
they plug somewhere at the bottom of the motherboard along the audio ports
the ac 97 might be analog so wont plug that
but the hd audio not sure where that plugs in the motherboard
Usually, the SATA ports start with 0, not 1. Is there a "Port 0"? Check the motherboard documentation. Plug the SSD drive into the SATA 0 port if you have one otherwise plug the SSD into Port 1.
There is an "eSata" port on the case. The SATA cable you have needs to be connected to the eSATA port if there is one on the motherboard.
You should use the "HD Audio" connection for the front panel audio (headphone and mic). The HD is for modern motherboards and systems and provides some jack sensing that the old AC97 does not have. Usually the audio connection is in the lower left of the motherboard. Your motherboard documentation will show where its at, but looking at the picture of the motherboard that appears to be on the lower left of the motherboard.
Along with the other front panel connections (power switch, light, etc) you should also have a USB 2.0 connection that connects to a USB 2.0 header (jack) on the motherboard. It is most likely on the lower edge of the motherboard.
