• For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU)
that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum
power of 350 W.
• Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX12V 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.aspx?SLanguage=en-us for details.
• The ATX 12 V Specification 2.0-compliant (350W) PSU has been tested to support the
motherboard power requirements.
12.. Optical.drive.audio.connector.(4-pin.CD)
