Orange Out

Orange Out is old school PC repair lingo referencing the two power supply connectors with 6 wires each; while not identical, each had a black wire at one end and an orange wire at the other that plugged into the straight 12-pin power input on the PC motherboard. Orange Out was the idiom used to correctly line the connectors to the pins; meaning the orange wires should be on each end of the 12-pin power input.
