(1)      Power Connector (24-pin block): ATXPWR1 

 

ATX  Power  Supply  connector:   
This  is  a  new  defined  24-pins 
connector  that  usually  comes 
with  ATX  case.  The  ATX  Power 
Supply  allows  using  soft  power 
on 

momentary 

switch 

that 

connect  from  the  front  panel 
switch to 2-pins Power On jumper 
pole on the motherboard.    When 
the  power  switch  on  the  back  of 
the ATX power supply turned on, 
the  full  power  will  not  come  into 
the  system  board  until  the  front 
panel  switch  is  momentarily 
pressed.    Press this switch again will turn off the power to the system board. 

**   We  recommend  that  you  use  an  ATX  12V  Specification  2.0-compliant  power 

supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This type has 24-pin 
and 4-pin power plugs. 

**  If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the 

20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and the power supply unit 
has a minimum power rating of 350W. The system may become unstable or may 
not boot up if the power is inadequate. 

**  Please  refer  to  Figure  1  for  20-pin  power  plug  connection.  Power  plug  and 

motherboard  power  connectors  has  adopted  key  design  to  avoid  installation 
mistake through connection can be made easily if in the proper direction. If the 
installation direction is incorrect and you make the connection by force both the 
board and the power supply can be burned. Please see to it that the direction is 
correct during installation.
