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 connect the SSI power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then pin 13 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 installation. pin 12 Pin Definition 13 1 PIN SIGNAL PIN SIGNAL 1 +3.3V 13 +3.3V 2 +3.3V 14 -12V 3 GND 15 GND ATX1 4 +5V 5 GND 16 PS-ON# 17 GND 6 +5V 18 GND 7 GND 19 GND 8 PW R OK 20 Res 9 5VSB 21 +5V 10 +12V 22 +5V 11 +12V 24 12 12 NC 23 +5V 24 GND ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1 This 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU. 2 1 JPW1 4 3 JPW1 Pin Definition PIN SIGNAL 1 GND 2 GND 3 12V 4 12V MSI Reminds You... 1.
