Paul, you didn't mention the 4 pin plug near the CPU. Is that

Nope. Are there _two_ power leads to connect to the motherboard?

What I did was connect the power lead from the PSU to the 24-pin
EATXPWR connector on the right-hand side of the motherboard.

*reads manual _carefully_ this time*

You're right, I completely missed there is also a 2x4 EATX12V socket
on the top-left! My last motherboard was from the days when men were
men and only 1 power lead sufficed.

How do I tell which power cable from my PSU to use? The manual has the
following note:

"Use only either a 4-pin ATX12V or an 8-pin EPS + 12V power plug for
the EATX12V connector".

Is there either 1 4-pin or 1 8-pin cable from my PSU that will be
obvious?

Thanks for spotting this!

P.

It should be easily identified. It has two yellow (+12V) and two black (ground) wires, is just like the larger plug, but has only the four wires (and 4-pin plug) mentioned.



I'm surprised it would power off if that was missing. A typical
symptom would be for fans to spin, but no beep from the computer
speaker.

Connector pictures are here. Top center one, with two yellow and two black
wires, is the one. The cap on the 2x4 motherboard connector, installed
at the factory, will block the pins you are not supposed to use, and
guide you to the 2x2 holes for use with the 2x2 connector. The manual
does not provide guidance on which pins are which, so if the cap goes
missing, that would be one extra challenge.

You cannot go wrong, as long as the yellow wires are plugging to the
pins labeled as +12V.
