Connecting Power Supply Cables

Figure 30 shows the location of the power connectors.

CAUTION

Failure to use an appropriate power supply and/or not connecting the 12 V
(Figure 30,
A) power connector to the Desktop Board may result in damage to the
board or the system may not function properly.

The 2 x 12 pin main power connector (Figure 30, D) is backwards compatible with
ATX12V power supplies with 2 x 10 connectors. Use of the 1 x 4 auxiliary PCI Express
graphics power connector (Figure 30, C) or the SATA-style auxiliary power connector
(Figure 30, B) is required with ATX12V power supplies when using PCI Express
graphics cards that can consume up to 75 W.
