Connecting The Power Supply - TYAN TIGER 200T User Manual

2.13 Connecting the power supply

This motherboard requires an ATX power supply, one that conforms to ATX standard 2.01 or better.
The clip on the power connector should lock over the tab on the onboard connector. You shouldn't be able
to plug the power connector in any other way but just to be safe, make sure it looks like Figure 2.4b.
Make certain that you do not miss connecting any of the pins because if you do, you will void your war-
ranty and possibly cause damage to yourself and/or your motherboard when the power is turned on. After
connecting the power, make sure the connector is seated firmly into its socket so it will not become loose
or fall off when the computer is jostled or moved.

The clip is over the TAB of the
onboard connector.
As you connect the cable into the
motherboard's 20-pin onboard con-
nector, it will make a CLICK noise.
This is normal.
It indicates that the clip has success-
fully snapped over the tab.
