JPWR1~3: ATX Power Connectors
These connectors allow you to connect an ATX power supply. To connect th\
e ATX
power supply, align the power supply cable with the connector and firmly press the
cable into the connector. If done correctly, the clip on the power cable\
should be
hooked on the motherboard’s power connector.
