Power Supply

ATX 24-pn Power Connector: JPWR1

Ths connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pn power supply. To connect the ATX

24-pn power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply s nserted n the proper

orentaton and the pns are algned. Then push down the power supply 󰘰rmly nto the

connector.

You may use the 20-pn ATX power supply as you lke. If you’d lke to use the 20-pn

ATX power supply, please plug your power supply along wth pn 1 & pn 13.
