ATX (Power Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all
the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, please make sure
that all components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with its
proper location on the motherboard and connect tightly.
The ATX_12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the ATX_12V power
connector is not connected, the system will not start. If you wish to install a power supply
that provides ATX 12V (2x2) power connector, please connect the ATX 12V power connector to
the Pin 3, 4, 7, 8 of the onboard ATX_12V power connector according to the pin definitions.
Caution! Please use a power supply that is able to handle the system voltage requirements. It
is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used
(400W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result
can lead to an unstable system or a system that is unable to start. If you use a power supply
that provides a 24-pin ATX or 2x4 pin ATX 12V power connector, please remove the small
cover on the power connector on the motherboard before plugging in the power cord ; otherwise,
please do not remove it.
