8. Connecting the Power Supply
The Trinity KT requires an ATX power supply. Tyan recommends using one that
conforms to industry standard revision 2.01. The photos below show the ATX power
connector before (
Figure 2-12
) and after (
Figure 2-13
) it has been plugged in. The
plastic clip on the power connector should lock over the plastic tab on the onboard
connector. You shouldnt be able to plug the power connector in any other way but
just to be safe, make sure it looks like
Figure 2-13
below.
Make certain that you do not miss connecting any pins because if you do, you will
void your warranty and cause damage to yourself or your motherboard when you turn
the system on. After connecting the power, make sure the connector is seated firmly
into its socket so it will not become loose or fall off when the computer is jostled or
moved.
NOTE: When installing your power supply, make sure the power supply
switch is turned OFF. You may turn the switch back ON once youve finished
building your system.
You are done!
Other than checking the jumper settings and cable connections, and putting the case
back on, you are done. Installing a new motherboard may sound difficult, but by
following these directions, you should have a fairly uneventful time installing our
products. If you do encounter problems, your dealer will be able to help you, or you
can consult one of our many technical support resources (see page 8).
