We recommend that you use an ATX 12 V Specication 2.0-compliant
power supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 300 W power rating. This PSU
type has 24-pin and 4-pin power plugs.
•
If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, ensure that
the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15 A on +12 V and that the PSU
has a minimum power rating of 300 W. The system may become unstable
or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
•
Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12 V power plug. Otherwise, the
system will not boot up.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when
conguring 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.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.

•
You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to install
additional devices.
