Installing the Motherboard
24-pin power cable
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 F_PANEL1.
4 Connect the case speaker cable to SPK1.
5 Connect the standard power supply connector to ATX1.
6 Connect the auxiliary case power supply connector to ATX12V1.
Users please note that the 20-pin and 24-pin power cables can both be
connected 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. A minimum power of 300W is
recommended for a fully-configured system.
20-pin power cable
With ATX v2.x power supply, users please
note that when installing 24-pin power cable,
the latches of power cable and the ATX1
match perfectly.
With ATX v1.x power supply, users please
note that when installing 20-pin power cable,
the latch of power cable falls on the left side
of the ATX1 connector latch, just as the
picture shows.
