Here we will show you all of the connectors, headers and switches, and how to connect them. Please read 
the entire section for necessary information before attempting to finish all the hardware installation inside 
the computer chassis. A complete enlarged layout diagram is shown in Chapter 1 for all the position of 
connectors and headers on the board that you may refer to. 

WARNING: Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or removing 
any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage to your motherboard and/or 
peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after you have carefully checked everything. 

This motherboard provides two power connectors to connect ATX12V power supplier. 

NOTE: This 24-pin power connector “ATXPWR1” is compliant to the former 20-pin type. Pay attention 
to the orientation when doing so (Pin-11, 12, 23, and 24 should be left un-connected). 

 

Note:  It is recommended to connect to a power with 350W, 20A +5VDC capacity at least for heavily 
loaded system, and a 2A +5VSB capacity at least for supporting wake-up features. 

 

The auxiliary 12V power connector [ATX4P1] provides an additional power 
source for devices added on PCI Express slots. It is highly recommended to 
attach 12V power from the power supplier for the best system stability.
