The RADEON 9700/9500 Series requires
connection to your PC’s internal power supply
for operation. Consult your system builder or
OEM to ensure your system has an adequate
power supply. Otherwise ATI recommends a
300 watt power supply or greater to ensure
normal system operation where a number of
other internal devices are installed.
