5. Connect Cables:

   Connect the power supply cables to the motherboard (24-pin ATX, 4/8-pin CPU), graphics card (if applicable), and drives (SATA power). Connect the front panel cables (USB, audio, power switch, reset switch, LED indicators) to the corresponding headers on the motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for header locations.

6. Cable Management:

   Route cables neatly to improve airflow and aesthetics. Use cable ties from the accessory kit if needed.
