Asus P5VDC-MX manual ATX power connectors 24-pin EATXPWR, 4-pin ATX12V, Eatxpwr

7 . ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 4-pin ATX12V)

These connectors are for an ATX power supply. The plugs from the power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit.

• Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12 V power plug; otherwise, the system will not boot up.

•When using an ATX 12 V PSU with 20-pin power plug, make sure that it can provide 8 A on the +12 V lead and at least 1A on the +5V standby lead (+5 VSB). The minimum recommended wattage is 300 W, or 350 W for a fully configured system. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.

•You must install a Power Supply Unit (PSU) with a higher power rating if you intend to install additional devices.
