Chapter 1: Product introduction

8. 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 12 V 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 intent 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 if the power is

inadequate.

• Do not forget to connect the 4-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.
