Connect the 4-pin auxiliary power cord coming from the power supply to the
motherboard, as shown in Figure 3-50. This cord supplies the supplemental
power required for the processor.
A board might have a 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe power connector. You saw a photograph
of an 8-pin connector earlier in the chapter in Figure 3-16. If the board has either
connector, connect the 6-pin or 8-pin cord from the power supply to the connector.
