Connecting 20/24-pin power cable

Users please note that when installing
20-pin power cable, from the aspect as
the picture shows, the latch of power
cable  falls on the left side of the PWR1
connector latch.

Users please note that when installing
24-pin power cable, the latches of power
cable and the PWR1 connector match
perfectly.

Note

: Users please note that the 20-pin and 24-pin power cables can both

be connected to the PWR1 connector. While connceting the 20-pin
power cable, just align the 20-pin power cable with the pin 1 of the
PWR1 connector. However, using 20-pin power cable may cause the
system the unbootable or unstable problem because of insufficient
electricity. The minimum recommended power is 300W for a fully-
configured system.
