11. ATX power connectors These connectors are for ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit. • DO NOT forget to connect the 24-pin and the 8-pin power plugs, or 24-pin and 4-pin power plugs (for 300W PSUs); otherwise, the system will not boot up. • For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 350W. • When using a 300W PSU that only has a 4-pin 12V power connector, the 8-pin Power Plug LED may light up when the 4-pin 12V connector is connectd. This is normal and will not affect the motherboard powering up and other functions. • DO NOT forget to connect the 8-pin EATX12V power plug. Otherwise, the system will not boot. • We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output 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 two or more high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with 1000W power or above to ensure the system stability. 3-16 Chapter 3: Motherboard Information
