The FDD-type power connector provides additional power. If you
are using more than one graphics cards, we recommend that you
plug a power cable from your power supply unit onto the 5V/12V
power connector at location J1. This will provide more stability to the
entire system. The system board will still work even if the additional
power connector is not connected.
The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply
to operate. Your system configuration (CPU power, amount of
memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum
power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided,
we
strongly recommend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or
greater) power supply.
Important:
Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instabil-
ity or the add-in boards and peripherals not functioning prop-
erly. Calculating the system’s approximate power usage is im-
portant to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s
consumption requirements.
