•

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 350 W.

•

DO NOT forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the system will

not boot up.

•

We recommend that you use a PSU with 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 are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,

refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at http://support.asus.
