Installing Power Cables
Power Connector (24-pin block): (ATXPWR)
The ATX Power Supply allows using a soft power-on momentary switch to power up the
motherboard.
This allows for a low voltage control of the power supply by the user, through the front panel power
button, or the Operating System. The 24 pin connector has some additional power rails but is still
backwards compatible with the original 20 pin specification.
** An ATX 12V Specification 2.0 or better compliant power supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of
350W power rating is recommended. 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.
ATX 12V Power Connector (8-pin block): (AUX12V)
This 8-pin connector supports the newer high power processors from Intel. It is fully backwards
compatible with the original 4 pin connector.
PLEASE MAKE SURE NOT TO USE THE
2x3 plugs.
They are designed for PCI-e cards only.
