• For a fully-configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply

unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.� (or later version)

and provides a minimum power of 400 W.

• 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.

• If you want to use the ATI CrossFire

Graphics solution, use a PSU with

500 ~ 600 W power to ensure system stability.
