ATX Power Input Connectors

This motherboard provides two power connectors to connect to an ATX12V power supply.
NOTE: It is recommended to connect to a power supply with 350W, 20A +5VDC capacity at least for
heavily loaded system, and a 2A +5VSB capacity at least for supporting wake-up features.
The auxiliary 12V power connector [POWER1] provides an additional power
source for devices added on PCI Express slots. It is highly recommended to
attach 12V power from the power supplier for the best system stability.
