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 latch feature, should help guide the proper compass point for insert. This picture shows the final result. I tried to draw my picture, to sorta match this. http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/4pinin8.jpg (More connector info on this page. Worth a read.) http://www.playtool.com/pages/psucon...onnectors.html If the documentation is any good, it should mark four pins on one (long) side as being +12V. The yellow wires on the power supply connector should match up with those pins. That would be a consistency check for correctness. Stop, if the yellow wires aren't on the 12V side. The diagram in the manual has numbers on it. An adjacent table identifies the pins for usage with a 2x2. They'd be 3,4,7,8. I'd probably have used a different notation, such as putting text next to 3,4,7,8 saying "stick 2x2 here". In any case, the keying feature should guide the insertion, and then the results can be compared to the table, just to be sure. 1 GND (Only for 2x4 pin 12V) 2 GND (Only for 2x4 pin 12V) 3 GND --- 4 GND --- 5 +12V (Only for 2x4 pin 12V) 6 +12V (Only for 2x4 pin 12V) 7 +12V --- 8 +12V --- HTH, Paul |
