Connecting 20/24-pin power cable
Users please note that the 20-pin and 24-pin power cables can both be con-
nected to the ATX1 connector. With the 20-pin power cable, just align the 20-
pin power cable with the pin 1 of the ATX1 connector. However, using 20-pin
power cable may cause the system to become unbootable or unstable because of
insufficient electricity.

Users please note that when installing 20-
pin power cable, the latche of power cable
falls on the left side of the ATX1 connector
latch, just as the picture shows.
Users please note that when installing 24-
pin power cable, the latches of power cable
and the ATX1 match perfectly.
