Hi. I am assembling a pc for myself for the first time. Throughout the process I got a lot of help from the forums of tomshardware. So, I deduced this would be the best place for confirmation. I have almost completed setting up the motherboard but want to ask if all the connections are correct so I dont end up frying anything. I am attaching pictures for better explanation. Please let me know If any connection is incorrect or can be done better in any other way. Also kindly bear with me as my comprehension of technical terms is limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


In the first image,
1) There is a 4 pin connection on the motherboard that I have marked by ???
I connected the EPS 8 pin cable to it after separating it into two 4 pin cables. Is that ok or should I just not connect it at all since all 8 pins cant be connected?
2) The casing has 2 fans. I connected the bigger one to SYS FAN2 slot and the smaller one to the SYS FAN1 slot. Does it make any difference?
In the second image
1) Connected the SATA1 to my hdd which is Western Digital Caviar Blue 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive.
2) JUSB 1 holds a wire coming from the front panel(mb for usbs in the front panel)
3) Connected the power+- ,reset sw etc to the JFP1
4) Connectedd the HD audio to the JAUD1. The HD audio has another connector on the same wire that has "AC'97" written on it. Where do I connect that one?
Thanks a lot again. Waiting impatiently for your replies.
