Auxiliary connector
The
auxiliary connector is a
four or six wire power supply
connector that connects to the motherboard. This
connector provides additional power to the
computer processor and other power hungry devices like a video. In the picture to the right, is an example of what the auxiliary cable connector looks like. As can be seen the cable has two black wires that provide the ground, two orange wires that provide +3.3VDC, and a red wire that provides +5VDC.
