10. Power connectors

(24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V, 4-pin EZ_PLUG)
These connectors are for ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs

are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper

orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit.

• Ensure to remove the cap on the EATX12V connector before connecting an

8-pin EPS +12V power plug.

• Use only an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug for the EATX12V connector.
• 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 600 W.

• Do not forget to connect the 8-pin EATX12 V power plug; otherwise, the

system will not boot.

• Remember to connect the EZ_PLUG for a stabler +12V output when

installing graphic cards that requires more than 18A on the +12V rail;

otherwise, EATX12V connector might be overheated.

• 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.

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

system, refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator

at http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.
