Asus Q87MECSM Computer Hardware User Manual


 
1-14
Chapter 1: Product introduction
We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specication 2.0-compliant power supply
unit (PSU) with a minimum of 300W power rating. This PSU type has 24-pin and 4-pin
power plugs.
DO NOT forget to connect the 4-pin/8-pin ATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the
system will not boot up.
We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when conguring a
system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional
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.aspx?SLanguage=en-us for details.
2. ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin ATX12V)
These connectors are for ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs are
designed to t these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and
push down rmly until the connectors completely t.
