Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation. The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start. • Use of a power supply providing a 2x4 12V power connector is recommended by the CPU manufacturer when using an Intel Extreme Edition CPU (130W). • To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system. • The power connectors are compatible with power supplies with 2x2 12V and 2x10 power connectors. When using a power supply providing a 2x4 12V and a 2x12 power connector, remove the protective covers from the 12V power connector and the main power connector on the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cables into pins under the protective covers when using a power supply providing a 2x2 12V and a 2x10 power connector. 8 4 5 1 ATX_12V_2X4 ATX_12V_2X4: Pin No. Definition 1 GND (Only for 2x4-pin 12V) 2 GND (Only for 2x4-pin 12V) 3 GND 4 GND 5 +12V (Only for 2x4-pin 12V) 6 +12V (Only for 2x4-pin 12V) 7 +12V 8 +12V 12 24 1 13 ATX Hardware Installation ATX: Pin No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Definition Pin No. 3.3V 13 3.3V 14 GND 15 +5V 16 GND 17 +5V 18 GND 19 Power Good 20 5VSB (stand by +5V) 21 +12V 22 +12V (Only for 2x12-pin ATX) 23 3.3V (Only for 2x12-pin ATX) 24 Definition 3.3V -12V GND PS_ON (soft On/Off) GND GND GND -5V +5V +5V +5V (Only for 2x12-pin ATX) GND (Only for 2x12-pin ATX) - 22 -

The power connectors are compatible with power supplies with 2x2 12V and 2x10 power

remove the protective covers from the 12V power connector and the main power connector on
the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cables into pins under the protective covers
when using a power supply providing a 2x2 12V and a 2x10 power connector.
