Introduction

1.8.2

Amplifier Connector (AMPJ1) (Optional)

1.8.3

ATX Power Connector (ATXPWR1)

This connector is for an ATX Micro-Fit power supply. The plugs from the power sup-
ply are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orien-
tation and push down firmly until the connectors mate completely.

Important notes on the Motherboard Power Requirements

Note!

!

Make sure that your ATX 12 V power supply can provide 8A on the 
+12 V lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5 VSB). 
The minimum recommended wattage is 230 W, or 300 W for a fully 
configured system. The system can become unstable and might 
experience difficulty powering up if the power supply is inadequate.

!

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