10. SSI power connectors (24-pin ATXPWR1, 2 x 8-pin

ATX12V1, ATX12V2)

SSI power connectors (24-pin ATXPWR1, 2-8 pin ATX12V1,

ATX12V2). These connectors are for SSI 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.

Use of an SSI 12 V Specification 2.0-compliant power supply unit

(PSU) that provides a minimum power of 800 W is recommended for a

fully-configured system. Do not forget to connect the two 8-pin ATX

+12 V power plug; otherwise, the system will not boot up.

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.

You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to

install additional devices.
