connecting xenarc power wire to molex
ok i read how to wire to a molex but i have a problem. im not sure which is power and ground. i bought this xenarc used and they only gave me one wire which looks like this after i remove the covering.



left: black rubber covering
middle: white wire with silver strands coming out
right: silver strands sort of wrapped around the white wire.

im assuming the white is power and silver is ground. just want to make sure.

can you post pictures of how you connected it to your molex? which color molex does it go to?

I have a M2 ATX power supply as well.

The white power should go to the yellow (12v) wire on the molex connector. The red wire is only 5V

Correct. In case someone searches and does not already know the Black wires on the PC molex connectors are both ground (earth).

Does anyone know what the maximum current draw can be through a molex?

I want to connect my DW6500 through the compueter, but it says maximum of 10a - is this too much?

Thanks
