2.13 Connecting the power supply*
This motherboard requires the following:
•
ATX power supply, one that conforms to ATX standard 2.01 or better.
The clip on the power connector should lock over the tab on the onboard connector. You shouldn’t
be able to plug the power connector in any other way but just to be safe, make sure it looks like
Figure 2.4b. Make certain that you do not miss connecting any of the pins because if you do, you
will void your warranty and possibly cause damage to yourself and/or your motherboard when the
power is turned 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.
Step 1: Shown on the right, in Figure 2.4a, is
the 20-pin connector of the ATX power supply.
Note the clip in the image: it will help you install
the plug correctly.
Step 2: Shown on the right, in Figure 2.4b, is
the 20-pin connector plugged into the board*.
The clip is over the TAB of the onboard
connector.
When you connect the cable into the
motherboard’s 20-pin onboard connector, it will
make a CLICK noise as it is installed.
This is normal.

NOTE
Your ATX power connector may not look like those in the above diagram; they
are used simply as examples.
