CompTIA A+ 220-1101 (V14) Practice Question

A technician is installing a replacement power supply in an older desktop PC that has a 20-pin ATX main power connector. The new power supply includes a single 20+4-pin (24-pin) ATX connector. Which of the following is the BEST way to connect the new power supply to the motherboard?

  • Cut off the extra four wires on the power-supply connector so it fits the 20-pin socket.

  • Use force to insert the entire 24-pin connector into the 20-pin socket so that all pins make contact.

  • Replace the motherboard, because a 24-pin connector cannot be used with a 20-pin socket.

  • Detach the additional 4-pin segment and plug only the 20-pin portion into the motherboard, leaving the 4-pin segment unplugged.
