Connecting Case Components

After you have installed the motherboard into a case, you can begin con-
necting the motherboard components. Refer to the following:
1 Connect the CPU cooling fan cable to CPU_FAN1.
2 Connect the case cooling fan connector to CAS_FAN1.
3 Connect the system cooling fan connector to SYS_FAN1.
4 Connect the case speaker cable to SPK1.
5 Connect the standard power supply connector to ATX1.
6 Connect the auxiliary case power supply connector to PWR1.
7 Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the PANEL1.
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 ATX1 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.

With ATX v1.x power supply, users please note
that when installing 20-pin power cable, the
latche of power cable falls on the left side of
the ATX1 connector latch, just as the picture
shows.
With ATX v2.x power supply, users please note
that when installing 24-pin power cable, the
latches of power cable and the ATX1 match
perfectly.
