8. ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 2x4-pin EATX12V)
These connectors are for ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs
are designed to t these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper
orientation and push down rmly until the connectors completely t.
• Make sure to remove the cap on the EATX12V connector before connecting
an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug.
• Use only either a 4-pin ATX12V or an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug for the
EATX12V connector.
• For a fully congured system, we recommend that you use a power supply
unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specication 2.0 (or later version)
and provides a minimum power of 400 W.
• Do not forget to connect the 8-pin / 4-pin EATX12V power plug; otherwise,
the system will not boot.
• Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when
conguring a system with more power-consuming devices. The system
may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
• If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with
500W to 600W power or above to ensure the system stability.
• If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your
system, refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator
at http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.

• The ATX 12 V Specication 2.0-compliant (400W) PSU has been tested
to support the motherboard power requirements with the following
