ATX 24 pin power supply connector pinout
ATX 2.2 and later (ATX12V 2) is common ATX standard, 24 pin connector.
Changes to ATX standard were made to support 75 watt PCI Express requirements. Most power is now provided on 12 V rails and the power on 3.3 V and 5 V rails was significantly reduced. The standard specifies that two independent 12 V rails (12 V2 for the 4 pin connector and 12 V1 for everything else) with independent overcurrent protection are needed to meet the power requirements.
New ATX v 2.2 uses new connector, but most motherboards nowdays allow to use an old ATX v 1.x power supply with ATX 20 pin connector – it connects to 24 pin motherboard receptacle.

/PSON activated by pressing and releasing the power button while the power supply is in standby mode. Activating /PSON connects the power supply’s /PSON input to ground, thereby switching the power supply to full-on condition.
18 AWG is recommended for all wires except pin 11, which should be 22 AWG. For 300W configurations 16 AWG is recommended.

The SATA Connectors:
The SATA standard specifies a power connector sharply differing from those used by PATA drives and many other computer components. It is wafer-based, 15-pin shape. The seemingly large number of pins are used to supply three different voltages — 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V.
Each voltage is supplied by three pins ganged together (and 5 pins for ground). This is because the small pins cannot supply sufficient current for some devices. One pin from each of the three voltages is also used for hotplugging. The same physical connections are used on 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch notebook hard disks.

Pins 3,7,13 are pre-charge.
Pin 11 can be used for activity indication and/or staggered spin-up.
Pins 1, 2, and 3 are optional as well, as evidenced by some adapter cables that connect the drives to older PSUs. These are usually Y-adapters that have the four-pin drive connector on the other end. Currently, SATA drives rarely use 3.3 volts. That may be because there are too many people using adapters so the drive makers don’t want the headaches which come with using 3.3 volts. But in the future, 3.3 volt drives may become common so you need to be careful when using SATA power cables which don’t implement 3.3 volts.
