Required Connection for GPUs

Notes: For the these proprietary connectors to work properly, please customize your PWR cables based on the SMC PWR Connector Pin-Out Definitions listed in the tables above. For the GPUs to work properly, connect the GPU power connectors (JPW2/JPW3) to the power supply (6016GT series only).

Power Button Connector

The PW_ON connector is on pins 1 and 2 of JF1. Momentarily contacting both pins will power on/off the system. This button can also be configured to function as a suspend button (with a setting in the BIOS

-see Chapter 4). To turn off the power when set to suspend mode, press the button for at least 4 seconds. Refer to the table on the right for pin definitions. This header should be connected to the chassis power button. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
