6-Pin Power (Auxiliary PCI Express)
CAUTION Be sure you can differentiate which power cable connects to the PCI Express x16 graphics card
and which power cable connects to the system board. These two cables look very similar. The PCI Express
power cable has a black connector and the power cable has a white connector. When power is present, you
must NEVER connect the PCI Express power cable to the system board. If you do so, the system board may
be damaged and your warranty voided. To see a picture of the PCI Express cable and where it must be
connected, refer to the “PCI or PCI Express Installation” section on page 84.
NOTE The 6-pin power (auxiliary PCI Express) is only required with high-powered
graphics cards.
