• For a fully-configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 400 W.

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

•Use of a 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.

•If you want to use the ATI CrossFire™ Graphics solution, use a PSU with 500 ~ 600 W power to ensure system stability.
