1/2) ATX_12V_2X2/ATX_12V_2X4/ATX (2x2, 2x4, 12V Power Connectors and 2x12 Main 

Power Connector)

 

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components 

on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned 

off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the 

power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.

 

The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, 

the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high 

power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the 

required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.
