Connecting Power Supply Cables
CAUTION
Failure to use an appropriate power supply and/or not connecting the 12 V power
connector (Figure 23, A) to the Desktop Board may result in damage
to the board or
the system may not function properly.

do not install a PCI Express x16 graphics card unless it has a direct connection to the
power supply.
