Installing the Motherboard
Connecting Case Components
After you have installed the motherboard into a case, you can begin connecting the
motherboard components. Refer to the following:
1 Connect the CPU cooling fan cable to CPU_FAN.
2 Connect the system cooling fan connector to SYS_FAN.
3 Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the PANEL1.
4 Connect the standard power supply connector to ATX_POWER.

Connecting 20/24-pin power cable
Users please note that the 20-pin and 24-pin power cables can both be
connected to the ATX_POWER connector. With the 20-pin power cable,
just align the 20-pin power cable with the pin 1 of the ATX_POWER
connector. However, using 20-pin power cable may cause the system to
become unbootable or unstable because of insufficient electricity. A mini-
mum power of 300W is recommended for a fully-configured system.
