5. Power connectors
These Power connectors allow you to connect your motherboard to a power supply. The
power supply plugs are designed to fit in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and
push down firmly until the power supply plugs are fully inserted.
Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug, or connect both the 8-pin and 4-pin power plugs.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output when configuring a
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or
may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
• If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with 1000W power
or above to ensure the system stability.
