We recommend that you use a power supply that complies with the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 1.1. Connect the ATX12V power supply’s 20-pin ATX main power connector and 4-pin +12V power connector to J17 and ATXP1 respectively.

The 4-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of more +12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module (VRM).

The mainboard requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to operate.Your system configuration (amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, use a 300 Watt (or greater) power supply.
