ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V) 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. • We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0‑compliant power supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This PSU type has 24-pin and 8-pin power plugs. • DO NOT forget to connect the 8-pin EATX +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 or when you intend to install additional devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.

Chapter 1: Product introduction
ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V)
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.
We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0‑compliant power
supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This PSU type has 24‑pin
and 8-pin power plugs.
DO NOT forget to connect the 8‑pin EATX +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 or when you intend to install additional
devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is
inadequate.
AMD AM4 CPU socket
The motherboard comes with an AMD AM4 socket designed for AMD Ryzen™
2nd Generation/ Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics/ Athlon™ with Radeon™
Vega Graphics/ Ryzen™ 1st Generation processors.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)
.
CPU and chassis fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 4-pin CHA_FAN1/2)
Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring that the
black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.
Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside
the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not
place jumper caps on the fan connectors! The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan
of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.
The RGB headers support 5050 RGB
multi‑color LED strips (12V/G/R/B), with a
maximum power rating of 3A (12V), and no
longer than 3m.
Before you install or remove any
component, ensure that the ATX power
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do
so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
