• For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power
supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or
later version) and provides a minimum power of 400 W.
• Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12 V power plug;
otherwise, the system will not boot.
• When using two graphics cards, do not forget to connect the 4-pin
ATX +12 V power plug to the EZ Plug™; otherwise, the system will
be unstable. See page 6-6 for details.
• To support an Intel
®
Dual-Core CPU Extreme Edition up to 3.2 GHz,
make sure that the PSU can provide at least 16 A and 19 A peak on
the +12V_2 lead. Refer to the vendors list on Table 1 for details.
• Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when
configuring a system with more power-consuming devices. The
system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is
inadequate. See Table 2 for details.
