• 

For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit 

(PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a 

minimum power of 350W. 

•  DO NOT forget to connect the 4-pin/8-pin ATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the 

system will not boot up.

• 

We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when configuring a 

system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional 

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.

2.   ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V) 

These connectors are for 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.
