CAUTION:
Ensure that you can differentiate between which power cable
connects to the PCIe x16 graphics card and which power cable connects to the
system board. These two cables have different pin counts and different colors.
The PCIe power cable has a 6-pin black connector, and the CPU power cable
has an 4-pin white connector. When power is present, you must never connect
the PCIe power cable to the system board. If you do so, the system board can be
damaged and the warranty voided. To see a picture of the PCIe cable and where
it must be connected, see
Expansion card on page 124
.
NOTE:
The 6-pin power (auxiliary PCIe) is only required with high-powered
graphics cards.
