5. Power connectors
These Power connectors allow you to connect your motherboard to a power supply. The
power supply plugs are designed to t in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and
push down rmly until the power supply plugs are fully inserted.
Ensure to connect the 8-pin power plug.
• For a fully congured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit
(PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specication 2.0 (or later version) and provides a
minimum power of 350W.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output 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 are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system, we
recommend you to refer to online resources for Power Supply Wattage Calculator.
• If you want to use two or more high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with
1000W power or above to ensure the system stability.
6. M.2 slot (Key M)
The M.2 slot allows you to install an M.2 device such as an M.2 SSD module.
