How to connect xblade case fan/light wire's.

[Gary_McGowan]

Hi all recieved my new xblade case last week fitting it was rather easy...But there wasn't any manual's with it and i don't know how to connect the wire's to the motherboard least i think that's where they are connected i have connected all the power wire's up..Also have one light on the front of the casae lite. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.s. The wire's are molex wire's.

Greet's Gary.

Wait...i'm a bit confused. Your case has molex connectors? Molex are the 4 lead connectors that go into your HD and CD drive...you sure?

If you're having trouble getting the LED at the front light up, it could be because LED's are one-way. Try switching the header. Appart from that i don't get the problem...is it the front of the case you're connecting, right? Or something else?

Just read your post again DaveW so molex wire's are from the psu...think i'm confused too lol ok so i've read some stuff and i think there male and female wire's lol they have ground and something else as name's u know where these go i think it's where the leds go? Gary

Here's the problem with Molex Its a huge company that has made wire connectors for decades. So calling something a "molex" connection is kinda like saying you have a ford car.
In the modding/computer industry most people call These ends a molex connection.

the connectors on the front of the case should be labeled (HDD, PWR, RST,etc) what you want to look for is the corresponding labels on the headers on your M/B.

I always wondered where that name came from. Now i know.

I knew, but then I worked in electronic manufacturing for ages. AMP is another big manufacturer (and my daughter's initials).

I think the one u r referring to is the round one in center of the tower case on the door? I've done that one now i need to connect the 2 inside...I have no fan's spinning just one on the back. Finding it hard to connect the wire's i don't see nowhere on the motherboard where to connect them. Gary
