ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR; 4-pin ATX12V)
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.

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 450 W.

Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX12 V power plug; otherwise, the system will not

boot.

We recommend that you use a PSU with 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 are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,

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