10. 4-pin power connector (4-pin PWR3)
This 4-pin connector is for 5V power for compatible SATA DOM (Disk on Module)
devices connected using the appropriate cable. You can also use this 4-pin
connector to connect to the PSU to enhance power by 12V.
11. ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR1, 8-pin EATX12V1)
These connectors are for the ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs
are designed to fit these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper
orientation and push down firmly until the connectors completely fit.
• DO NOT forget to connect the 24-pin, the 8-pin power plugs, and the 4-pin PWR3;
otherwise, the system will not boot up.
• Use of a power supply unit (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.
• This motherboard supports ATX2.0 PSU or later versions.
• Ensure that your PSU can provide at least the minimum power required by your
system.
