I got out the magnifying glass and I still don't see it marked on those little plug ends. That's ok, I have them right now for sure.
Glad you reminded me about that CDROM to Sound card plug, bistro. I forgot about that little wire. It was also in the spare parts box. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I sure do have some boxes stacking up here. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Got a notification on the RAM. It's on its way to my doorstep. Only one so far. I was getting kinda worried. The other is on back order, but I can always stick that in later if it doesn't get here pretty quick.
EDIT:
Speakin' of wires. I am checking out where the fans plug in. According to the Motherboard manual you plug the cpu fan into FAN1 and the chassis fan into FAN2 or FAN3 Well, those plugs are too big to be putting there. The heatsink/fan that came with the processor (spare parts) has a little bitty plug so I'll assume the Golden Orb (I love that name https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ ) will have the same little bitty kind of plug. So do the chassis fans get plugged into the power supply instead ? There are both male and female plugs on those fans. Either...or both ?

Can't remember...did you get the Golden Orb yet? Either way, don't forget to remove the so-called "thermal pad" on the bottom. It's covered by a piece of wax paper--take a razor blade and peel up a corner (carefully) and you should be able to peel off the rest by hand (the whole thing; not just the wax paper). Be sure to wipe the bottom with an alcohol swab, then let it dry. You want bare metal in contact with the chip (with that tiny dab of thermal paste between).

Not yet on the Golden Orb. But I see the stuff on the spare that came with the processor. I'll dig that off the ORB too.
I added some more ?'s to the above too.^^
COOL! I just opened the book for the Intel Pentium III Processor. It has a hologram on the cover! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
There's one on the Motherboard too. Evidently that's the evidence it's the real McCoy.
Now if I could just find the English section of this P-III booklet. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ EXTENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY
Intel does not warrant that your Intel Pentium III processor will be free from design defects or errors known as "erotica" https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Current characterized erotica are available upon request. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Oh! wait ! It's errata...sorry https://discussions.virtualdr.com/...shoulda used that magnifying glass.
-
Maybe that's "erotic errata"... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
The chassis fans will have to be plugged into the power supply--with just a floppy, CD-Rom and Hard drive, you should have plenty of plugs to connect those fans into. Yes, the Golden Orb will have a small 3-hole plug to put into that FAN 1 connector.
Gettin' close.....
-
But why are there two on the fans? Either/or?
I'll have to visit the Intel Website and find out what these errata are. Hope it's not something warez. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
EDIT:
I See ! That's an extra for something else. Like a Y. So only the one will plug in, whichever happens to work. And then the end becomes free to use again.

I am starting to "see" now that when I read I get to "feel". https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
"Most systems only have one CD-ROM. So, configure this CD-ROM as a master. It is best to have this CD-ROM alone on the second IDE channel of your motherboard. Jumpers can be set with a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers. Many are capable of grabbing the jumper with their fingers or nails. This is fine, too.
If a particular drive does not need to be jumpered at all, it is best to hang the jumper over one pin. This is the same as being unjumpered, but make sure the jumper is there for future use if needed."
So, to satisfy my curiosity... I slid it out to look at the back. I had to scribble on the metal with a pencil to be able to read the words but it says CS SL MA. The little black jumper is over the middle pin but it's verticle.
Since it's verticle and it's only on one pin that means it's OK even if it is on the SL pin? Kinda in Neutral just like the Hard Drive?
I should just leave the side off. I'm gonna wear out the threads on those screws taking it off and on so much https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Put that jumper on the MA (Master) setting (vertical). CS stands for "Cable Select", SL for "Slave".
You're going to make that CD-ROM the Primary Master on the IDE 1 channel. Your hard drive is going to be run as the Primary master on the ATA channel.

OK Done.
Now....I been reading. I looked up Installation of the Golden Orb. Uh OH ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
"Mounting the ORB is the one area that demands caution - it does take an unusual amount of force to twist it onto the socket 7's lugs. Unfortunately for me, my first attempt at mounting this to a Celeron 433 resulted in one of the socket's lugs shearing off. Thankfully it was a cheapo slotket. The lesson however is obvious - mounting the ORB is not for the faint of heart or weak of wrist."

I got one, biggerun that! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I will not have any problems. I will practice before I put the chip in just like bistro recommended and it'll ease right on there. ( pleasssse Lord!)
-
The practise idea will pay off with BIG dividends. I have a 16 inch that sure comes in handy at times. Rough on pecans though.

This one is about two feet long. X hubby was a Heavy equipment mechanic. Cherry Pickers, Cranes, Front End Loaders...Pile Drivers. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

5' is the longest I have ever seen. Thought when I first saw it that it was a pipe wrench.
Would you believe I refused to pick it up. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Don't blame ya! This one probably weighs at least 40lb.
I have run thru all my wiring. And temporarily put a little label on each one for where it goes. When I get ready, I'll be ready.
