Power Supply Considerations
● Power connectors
D2568 is powered by a split plane PSU with six +12V-rails and 1000W continuous power. One rail is
for each processor, one for systemboard and three for peripherals (e.g. HHDs, add. 6-pin graphics
connector). There are three power connectors on this motherboard as listed below.

By following SSI EEB v3.51 specifications, D2568 is designed with two separate voltage
regulator circuits to provide the power for both onboard processors in separate power rail.
Using a power supply with a combined CPU power plane from the CPU power connector is not
allowed and may cause the system to fail to power up or damage to the power supply.
