Connect it to the power supply too. hmmm, First SATA port??? where's that?? Where's the power supply? Where's the port located on mother board? and how do you connect it? There are a MILLION question a normal computer user would ask when it comes to building a PC, that's why 99% of people (if not even higher) choose to buy a retail version instead? |
It's never a waste of time to share knowledge, in any case they where like 5 minutes.
The SATA ports are bright red or orange connectors on the motherboard that say "SATA" next to it. Like these:
They say SATA 1, SATA 2... and so on. Obviously the first SATA is SATA 1. You connect it with the provided cable, a red one. Like this:
The hard drive only has two connectors, one for the SATA and one for the power supply. They only fit their supposed cable, so no worries about that.
The power supply is the first thing you unpacked, the thing that says "500w power supply" on it's box. It has a fitting cable to connect it to the hard drive.
Any more questions? I really want you guys to learn.

And yeah greenmedic88, but "do not want" is very different to "can't".
