Page 1-2, turn your attention to the top left hand corner of the board, you should see 2x 8pin EPS connectors. The one labelled CPU_12V_1 is the connector that should be plugged in from the get go. If you plan to drop in a higher pedigree processor and wish to pursue a high overclock, then you connect CPU_12V_2 as well.

If your PSU has 2x8pin EPS harnesses, then by all means hook them up. Make and model of your PSU?
