designed to t these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation
and push down rmly until the connectors completely t.

devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power
is inadequate.
NOTE: Make sure that your PSU can provide at least the minimum power
required by your system.
NOTE: If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make
sure that the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and that
the PSU has a minimum power rating of 350W. The system may become
unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
NOTE: You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to
install additional devices.
