The 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 27
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 27
With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components onthemotherboard beforeconnectingthepowerconnector firstmakesurethepowersupplyisturned 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 27

The headers can be used to connect a standard 5050 addressable led strip with maximum power rating of 5a 12v or 5v and maximum number of 1000 leds there are 12v and 5v addressable led strips be sure to verify the voltage requirements of your addressable led strip and set the dled_v_sw1 and dled_v_sw2 jumpers accordingly 32
The jumpers allow you to select the supply voltage of the d_led1 and d_led2 headers be sure to verify the voltage requirements of your addressable led strip and set the correct voltage with this jumper before connection incorrect connection may lead to the damage of the led strip 32

Rapid recover technology provides data protection by allowing users to easily restore data and system operation using a designated recovery drive with the rapid recovery technology which employs raid 1 functionality users can copy the data from the master drive to the recovery drive if needed the data on the recovery drive can be restored back to the master drive 80
Recovery volume options inte 80
The recovery drive must have equal or greater capacity than the master drive a recovery volume can be created with two hard drives only a recovery volume and a raid array cannot co exist in the system at the same time that is if you have already created a recovery volume you are unable to create a raid array by default only the master drive can be viewed in the operating system the recovery drive is hidden 80
