You may use a 4-pin ATX12V
power plug for this connector.
•
Make sure to remove the cap on
the connector before connecting
an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug.
•
Use only either a 4-pin ATX12V or
an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug.
Connecting other power plug types
may cause serious damage to the
system.

•
For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power
supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or
later version) and provides a minimum power of 400 W.
•
Do not forget to connect the 8-pin/4-pin EATX12 V power plug;
otherwise, the system will not boot up.
•
Make sure that the PSU can support at least 8 A on the +12V_1
lead and 13 A on the +12V_2 lead.
•
The ATX 12 V Specification 2.0-compliant (400 W) PSU has been
tested to support the motherboard power requirements with the
following configuration:
CPU : Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 3.73 GHz Extreme Edition
Memory : 512 MB DDR2 (x 4)
Graphics card : PCI Express x16 Nvidia 6600GT
Parallel ATA device : IDE hard disk drive
Serial ATA device : SATA hard disk drive (x2)
Optical drives : DVD-RW
•
Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when
configuring a system with more power consuming devices. The
system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is
inadequate.
•
If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 graphics cards, use
a PSU with 450 to 500 W power to ensure system stability.
•
To support an Intel
®
Dual-Core CPU up to 840 Extreme Edition, make
sure that the PSU can provide at least DC 16A (peak 22A) on the
+12V_2 lead. The vendors list on the next page is provided for your
reference.
