Power supply plug in

Hello all,

I have question regarding how to plug in cables from PSU to motherboard.

My PSU is OCZ 850 GameXstream, and mobo is Asus P5BDeluxe Wifi AP.

The board has two 4 pin sockets named EATX12V right next to each others. Left of the 4pin sockets has black cap thingy in it. My PSU has two connectors that would fit, named CPU1 and CPU2. Do I remove the black cap, and plug them both side by side , or plug in just one?

Also the mobo has 24 pin EATXPWR socket. The PSU has 20 pin connector, and right next to it is 4 pin one. Is plugging the 20 pin enough or should I plug the 4 pin next to it too.

I realize this may seem silly question, but mobo manual didnt really clarify the issue and I dont want to damage the system.

Thanks in advance folks.

You use the 20+4 in the main connector and you use the dual 4 in the 8 pin. You do remove the cap.
