hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150 MB/s

data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with

133 MB/s (Ultra ATA133).

These connectors are for an ATX 12V power supply. The plugs from

the power supply are designed to fit these connectors in only one

orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the

connectors completely fit.

In addition to the 24-pin ATXPWR connector, this motherboard

requires that you connect the 4-pin ATX +12V power plug to provide

sufficient power to the CPU.

Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the +12V

lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). The minimum

recommended wattage is 230W, or 300W for a fully configured system.

The system can become unstable and might experience difficulty

powering up if the power supply is inadequate.
