ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 4-pin ATX12V)

Correctly orient the ATX power supply plugs into these connectors and push down

rmly until the connectors completely t.

• For a fully congured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit

(PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specication 2.0 (or later version) and provides

a minimum power of 350 W.

• DO NOT forget to connect the 4-pin EATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the system

will not boot up.

• We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when conguring a

system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional

devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is

inadequate.

•

If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,

refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at http://support.

details.

CPU and chassis fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 4-pin CHA_FAN)

Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring that the

black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.

Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufcient air ow inside

the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not

place jumper caps on the fan connectors! The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan

of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.
