Connecting

Cables

ATX Power Connector

There are a 24-pin main power sup-

ply connector(JPW1) and an 8-pin

CPU PWR connector (JPW3) on

the motherboard. These power con-

nectors meet the SSI EPS 12V speci-

ﬁ cation. The 4-pin power connectors

located at JPW2 /JPW4 are also

required to provide adequate power

to the system. See the table on the

right for pin deﬁ nitions. For the 8-pin

PWR (JPW3), please refer to the item

listed below.

Processor Power
Connector

In addition to the Primary ATX power

connector (above), the 12V 8-pin

CPU PWR connector at JPW3 must

also be connected to your power

supply. See the table on the right for

pin deﬁ nitions.
