[. . . ] Use only either a 4-pin ATX12V or an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug for the ATX12V connector. Chapter 2: Hardware information 2-30 GND GND GND GND · · · · For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2. 0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 550 W. Do not forget to connect the 4-pin/8pin EATX12V power plug; otherwise, the system will not boot. Use of a 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. If you want to use two high-end PCI Express x16 cards, use a PSU with 500 W to 600 W power or above to ensure the system stability.
