Make sure to remove the cap on the EATX12V connector before connecting
an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug.
Use only an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug for the EATX12V connector.
For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply
unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 � Specification 2.0 (or later version)
and provides a minimum power of 400 W.
Do not forget to connect the 4-pin/8pin EATX12� power plug; otherwise,
the system will not boot.
Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when
configuring a system with more power-consuming devices. The system
may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your
system, refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator
at http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.

If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with
500W to 600W power or above to ensure the system stability.
If you want to use 3-Way S��I™ configuration, visit the N�IDIA website
(www.nvidia.com) for the qualified PSU vendor list.
