CONNECTOR TYPES
24P Mainboard
Native cable, 12V rail supplied by 12V1
For new generations of ATX/EEB/CEB server/workstation MB.
8P CPU +12V
Native cable, 12V rail supplied by 12V1 & V2
Supports multi-CPU server/workstation systems and some single socket systems.
4+4P (8P) CPU +12V, in combined mode
Native cable, 12V rail supplied by 12V1 & V2
8-pin configuration supports multi-CPU server/workstation systems and some
single extreme CPU systems.
4+4P (8P) CPU +12V, in split mode
Native cable, 12V rail supplied 12V1 & V2
4-pin configuration supports certain single CPU systems. Some multi-CPU
workstation/server system might also need this extra 4-pin 12V connector.
Please use the connector with “12V” marking.
6+2P (8P) PCI Express, in combined mode
Native cable, 12V rail supplied by 12V3
8-pin configuration supports latest extreme graphic cards, which require 8-pin
PCI-E connector.
6+2P (8P) PCI Express, in split mode / 6P PCI Express
Native cable, 12V rail supplied by 12V3
6-pin configuration supports most performance PCI-E graphic cards
,
which require
6-pin PCI-E connector.
SATA
# 1
For SATA/SAS drives.
4P Molex
# 2
For IDE/SCSI/SAS drives or some AGP graphic card with traditional 4P power in
socket.
FDD
For floppy drive or certain add-on card.
FM (FAN RPM MONITOR)
# 3
For 13.5cm fan RPM detection.
Fan speed: 800-1800RPM (
±
10%).
#1 Some SATA drives might accept SATA or 4P Molex power. Normally, use either one of power
connector to power the driver, BUT NOT BOTH! Please check the drive’s manual for details.
#2 Some MB might require this connector to share the +12V current from 24-pin Mainboard
connector to PCI-E slot. If your MB already supports 24-pin Mainboard connector, you may not
need to add the 4P Molex connector on it. Please check the MB’s manual for details.
#3 Most MB offer 2 ~ 4 3-pin system/PSU fan power sockets, but only one or two socket(s) might
support the fan RPM signal. If you connect the PSU FM connector on the MB, but BIOS or
system monitor software cannot read the PSU fan RPM, please relocate the PSU FM connector to
another socket.
