Red face What do the power supply codes P1 thru P11 stand for?

I'm a new builder. I have a ASUS mobo A8N SLI Deluxe which I'm installing into an ATX mid tower Enlight case, EN 7254, with 350 W power supply.

My problem is: I have P1 installed, and one chassis fan. My question is: the power connectors are are labeled P2, P3 etc, where can I find the codes for these.

Thanks, Words 'n Stats

Hi Words 'n Stats

If you don't mind me saying that power supply seems a bit on the ...weak side , I don't mean to be rude by saying that i just understand from all i read here and other forums that the power supply is a very very vital part of the machine .

Please do not take offence by that i just wanted to point it out .

Im sure you will get all the help you need here as the guys are very friendly and know computers ...inside ..and out .

The Enlight power supply is not designed for PCI-E boards, much less SLI. You need to replace it. If you are ever going to use SLI, you need a SLI-certified power supply. You need an ATX 2.0 spec unit with a 24 pin main power connector, that Enlight is most likely just a 20 pin.

The numbering is pretty much immaterial.
