The ASUS Overclocking (OC) Panel was inserted into the OC Panel case housing and held in place with two screws. The OC Panel cable and a SATA power cable were attached to the OC Panel rear connectors. The cables were installed first because it was easier to access the cables before installing the OC Panel into the case. The OC Panel and cables were installed into the top 5.25 inch bay. The cables were routed through the right side compartment of the case behind the motherboard down to the bottom case opening near the power supply. The OC Power cable was attached to the power supply and the OC Panel cable was attached to the socket on the bottom right side of the mother board. The OC Panel case housing is half size so the case latches don’t quite latch and hold in place so two screws were used to keep it in place.
Next, the Pioneer BDR-2209 Blu-ray drive was installed. A SATA data cable was attached to the drive. The drive was installed in the second 5.25 inch bay and the cables were routed through the right side compartment behind the motherboard to SATA port 9 on the motherboard. The SATA power cable connected to the OC Panel was also used to power the Blu-ray drive. Figure 1 shows a how the various components were connected to the power supply and how the data connection were made to the ASUS Rampage V Extreme motherboard.
