PSU Pin allignment question

Hiya

I've got a mobo which has a 24pin connector on it and my psu has a 20pin and a seperate 4pin.

I'm guessing i'm fine to connect this ut which end do i put each psu connector as i can't find and pin layout diagrams.

My motherboard is an Intel D510MO

Cheers

It will only fit in one way. They are designed like that.

The 24pin comes apart (or it should anyway!), just plug the 20 pin in.

The 4 pin is a seperate connector entirely (P4).

Edit: I read that the wrong way

.

The 4 pin on the PSU should clip on to one side only. If it doesn't, it may be the wrong plug.

It will only fit one way. The socket should have a lip on one side and the connector a tab that locks onto the lip when pushed fully in.

***Edit*** Beaten again.

I know, but i wasn't sure whether it was to the right side or the left side as i'll be leaving 4 pins free on one end. Seems to still only go in one way though. Cheers

I remember why i used to work in full towers though rather than this tiny little ITX cases!!
