Connecting The Power Supply - TYAN TOMAHAWK BX Manual

6. Connecting the Power Supply

Tyan recommends using an ATX power supply that conforms to industry
standard revision 2.01. The Tomahawk BX/A+ motherboard comes equipped
with one onboard power connector.
Figure 2-13 below shows an ATX power connector. When plugging in the
power connector, make sure that the plastic clip on the power connector is
aligned with the plastic tab on the onboard connector (see Figure 2-14 below).
Make certain that you do not miss any pins because if you do, you will void
your warranty and cause damage to yourself or your motherboard when you
turn the system 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.
