Power Supply Connector
The power supply is the electrical device that converts the alternating current used by
standard A C outlets to the lower-voltage direct current required by computers. A stable
power source is essential for proper and reliable operation. It is therefore a good idea to
use a high quality power supply. It is essential that the power supply p5 VDC with
a voltage range b4.95 VDC and +5.25 VDC.
There are two power supplies connectors on the motherboard. Power supplies can run on
a wide range of voltages and must be set to the proper range. Each connector has six wires,
all of which must be aligned with the proper pin number.
