PSU:How to connect a PSU to a 4-pin CPU port

Our power supply units (PSUs) use an 8-pin EPS12v CPU cable that can be split into two 4-pin connectors. If you want to connect our PSU into a 4-pin EPS motherboard port, simply pull the two halves of the connector apart and connect one half into the motherboard port.

If you're having difficulty with the cable installation, here’s a straightforward way to understand how they fit together:

The pegs have shapes that should align with their respective holes.

  • Round pegs have slightly flattened corners and can fit into the square-shaped ports on the EPS12V header if necessary.
  • Square pegs are exactly square and only fit into square holes.

Aligning the square pegs with the square holes helps prevent accidentally inserting the cable incorrectly.
