Connecting Power Supply Cables
CAUTION
Failure to use an appropriate power supply and/or not connecting the 12 V
power connector (Figure 20, A) to the Server Board may result in damage to
the board or the system may not function properly.
Figure 20 shows the location of the power connectors. The 2 x 12 pin main power connector
(Figure 20, B) is backwards compatible with ATX12V power supplies with 2 x 10 connectors.
NOTE
If your power supply has a 2 x 10 main power connector, it is recommended
that you do not install a PCI Express* x16 graphics card unless it has a direct
connection to the power supply.
