Connecting 20/24-pin power cable
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 ATX_POWER1 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.
