Step 2Preparing the ATX power supply
5) Cut off the connectors (leave a few inches of wire on the connectors so that you can use them later on for other projects).
6) Open up the power supply unit by removing the screws connecting the top and the bottom of the PSU case.
7) Bundle wires of the same colors together. The color code for the wires is: Red = +5V, Black = Ground (0V), White = -5V, Yellow = +12V, Blue = -12V, Orange = +3.3V, Purple = +5V Standby, Gray = power is on (output), and Green = Turn DC on (input).
