USB Bus Power Input

The USB Bus power (5V) are step-down from 12V and the 12V input might from either PCIe Edge Finger or Auxiliary Power Connectors (J1 & J2).
Note:
If the PCIe Slot can’t supply 12V current high enough then you have to attach the Auxiliary Power from either J1 (ATA 4-pin) or J2 (SATA 15-pin).
