1.8.2ATX Power Connector (ATX_PWR1)

This connector is for an ATX Micro-Fit power supply. The plugs from the power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit.

Important notes on the Motherboard Power Requirements

￿Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the +12V lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). The minimum recommended wattage is 230W, or 300W for a fully configured system. The system can become unstable and might experience difficulty powering up if the power supply is inadequate.

￿You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to install additional devices.
