2.13 Connecting the power supply
This motherboard requires an
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 war-
ranty 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.
This is the CLIP

power supply.
Note the clip in the image: it will help
you install the plug correctly.

The clip is over the

When you connect the cable into the

nector, it will make a CLICK noise.
This is normal.
