ATX Main PWR & CPU PWR

Connectors

The  24-pin  main  power  connector
(JPW1)  is  used  to  provide  power  to
the motherboard and a 4-pin 12V CPU
power connector (J7) is required to en-
sure adequate power to the processor.
These  connectors  meet  the  SSI  EPS

12V specification. See the table on the
right for pin definitions.
