• 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 ATX12V power plug; otherwise, the system will not boot.

•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 are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system, refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator

at http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator. aspx?SLanguage=en-us for details.

•The ATX 12 V Specification 2.0-compliant (400W) PSU has been tested to support the motherboard power requirements.
