1/2/3) ATX1/P12V_AUX1/P12V_AUX2 (2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main 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, 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. • If you are using the power supply that split up into several sets of +12V, please attach the power cable (see below picture) to P12V_AUX1 and P12V_AUX2 first, then connect the +12V power connector of the power supply into cable box-header. • If you are using the power supply that provide single +12V, just install power supply connectors to P12V_AUX1 and P12V_AUX2 directly. • 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.

If you are using the power supply that split up into several sets of +12V, please attach
the power cable (see below picture) to P12V_AUX1 and P12V_AUX2 first, then connect
the +12V power connector of the power supply into cable box-header.
If you are using the power supply that provide single +12V, just install power supply
connectors to P12V_AUX1 and P12V_AUX2 directly.
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.
