Important notes on the Motherboard Power Requirements

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

zTo power the motherboard, it is recommended that you use an ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 power supply unit (PSU) with a minimum 350 W power rating. This PSU type has a 24-pin and 4-pin ATX power plugs.

zIf you intend to use a PSU with a 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12 V and that the PSU has a minimum power rating of 350 W. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate. We do not, however, recommend the use of a 20-pin PSU.

zThe ATX 12 V 350 W Spec. 2.0 PSU passed the motherboard power requirement test with the following configuration:

„CPU : Intel® Pentium® 4 3.6 GHz

„Graphics card : PCI Express x16 Nvidia EN5900

„Parallel ATA devices : IDE hard disk drive (x 2)
