DO NOT forget to connect the 24-pin and the 8-pin power plugs; otherwise, the system will not boot up.

Use of a power supply unit (PSU) with a higher power output is recommended when configuring a system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.

This motherboard supports ATX2.0 PSU or later version.

Ensure that your PSU can provide at least the minimum power required by your system.
