2.8 Connecting the Power supply cable
The ATX1 power connector is keyed for proper insertion. There are two
connectors for 4-pin and 24-pin ATX power cable. The plastic clip on
the power connector should lock over the plastic tab on the
motherboard power connector.
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

cause the system to become unbootable or unstable be-
cause of insufficient electricity.
Users please note that when installing 20-

clings to the left side of the ATX1 connec-
tor latch.
