quick question about comp molex

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Abomination:

Is there any way to tell which have +5v and which are carrying +12v without using a multimeter (ie visual or what its attached to?)  Also, I have an ipaq4 and I'm using 360 opticals, I just hook up the +5v wire to the computers power supply and the ground to the common ground spot on the ipaq?


Timoe:

You might already know this but you can get your +5 right off of your IPAC4.

quarterback:

The standard is RED -> 5v  YELLOW -> 12v

But I always check first, because you never REALLY know without testing.

Thanks, also am I correct on the optical 360's ground, connect it to my common ground wiring harness thats connected to the ground of the ipaq or do I connect it to the ground of the molex?!

markrvp:

Either ground should work, but I would (and did) connect both 5v and ground to the Ipac.
