Default 12V 2x4 socket, 2x2 plug: which pins to use?

The MB is an EP45-UD3R. The subject line says everything else.

The manual tells me, "Do not insert the power supply cables into pins
under the protective covers when using a power supply providing a 2x2
12V connector." But the board came with no covers on any of the pins.

The connector is physically keyed, so it can only be plugged in one
way. The manual also tells you which pins are for 2x4 connector only.
