1/2) ATX_12V_2X4/ATX (2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector)

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.

The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

Connect one end of the RGB LED strip extension cable to the header and the other end to your RGB LED strip. The black wire (marked with a triangle on the plug) of the extension cable must be connected to Pin 1 (12V) of this header. The 12V pin (marked with an arrow) on the other end of the extension cable must be lined up with the 12V of the LED strip. Be careful with the connection orientation of the LED strip; incorrect connection may lead to the damage of the LED strip.

For how to turn on/off the lights of the LED strip please visit the "Unique Features" webpage of GIGABYTE's website.

Before installing the devices, be sure to turn off the devices and your computer. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the devices.

Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector. Step 1:

Use a screwdriver to unfasten the screw on the heatsink and then remove the heatsink first. (Only the M2P connector has the heatsink.) If you want to install an M.2 2242 or 2260 SSD, get a screw and a standoff from the included M.2 screw kit and follow the pictures below to install.

1. 2242 size:

Fasten standoff A to the "42" hole on the PCH heatsink.

Standoff A

2. 2260 size:

Fasten standoff B to the "60" hole on the motherboard.

Standoff B

Step 2:

Slide the M.2 SSD into the connector at an angle. Step 3:

Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw. Replace the heatsink and secure it to the original hole.

Select the proper hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and standoff.

If you want to install an M.2 2260 or 2280 SSD, be sure not to fasten standoff A to the heatsink, or the M.2 SSD may be damaged.

(Note) The M2M connector is on the back of the motherboard. - 16 -
