Hardware Setup Power Supply The mainboard supports ATX power supply for the power system. Before inserting the power supply connector, always make sure that all components are installed properly to ensure that no damage will be caused. ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: ATX1 This connector allows you to connect an SSI power supply. To con- nect the SSI power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are pin 13 aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector. You may use the 20-pin ATX power supply or 24-pin SSI power supply as you like. If you'd like to use the ATX power supply, please plug your power supply along with pin 1 & pin 13 (refer to the image at the right hand). There is also a foolproof design on pin 11, 12, 23 & 24 to avoid wrong pin 12 installation.
