4. Fan headers
The fan headers allow you to connect fans or pumps to cool the
system.
5. Power connectors
ThesePowerconnectorsallowyoutoconnectyourmotherboardtoapowersupply.The
powersupplyplugsaredesignedtotinonlyoneorientation.Findtheproperorientationand
pushdownrmlyuntilthepowersupplyplugsarefullyinserted.
Ensuretoconnectthe8-pinpowerplug.
• 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versions)andprovidesa
minimumpowerof350W.
• WerecommendthatyouuseaPSUwithahigherpoweroutputwhenconguringa
systemwithmorepower-consuming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,we
