15) Power Supply Connectors (20 pin block ATXPWR1)

This connector supports an ATX 12V power supply. The plug from the power
supply fits in only one orientation. Push down firmly ensuring that the pins
are aligned.

16) SMBus Connector (6-1 pin SMB)

This connector supports SMBus (System Management Bus) devices. SMBus
devices communicate by means of the SMBus with an SMBus host and/or
other SMBus devices. SMBus is a multi-device bus that permits multiple
chips to connect to the same bus and enable each one to act as a master by
initiating data transfer.

IMPORTANT!

Make sure that the ATX 12V power supply offers at least

1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). The minimum recommended
wattage is 230W or 300W for a fully configured system. The system may
become unstable and may experience difficulty powering up if the power
supply is inadequate.
