7. ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 4-pin ATX12V)
These connectors are for an ATX power supply. The plugs from
the power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one
orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the
connectors completely fit.
• It is recommended that you use an ATX 12V Specification
2.0-compliant Power Supply Unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350 W
power rating. This PSU type has 24-pin and 4-pin power plugs.
• If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make
sure that the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V
and that the PSU has a minimum power rating of 350 W. The system
may become unstable or may not boot up without adequate power.
• Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12V 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.
• The ATX 12V Specification 2.0-compliant PSU passed the
motherboard power requirement test with the following
configuration:

Memory : 512 MB DDR (x 4)
Graphics card : PCI Express x16 Nvidia ® EN5900
Parallel ATA devices : IDE hard disk drive (x 2)

• You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to
install additional devices.
