That motherboard uses the 24 pin power cable and 1/2 of the CPU power. Your power supply may have a 4+4 configuration for the CPU power or may have an 8 pin. What power supply do you have? Page 1-1 in your user's manual describes the connections on the motherboard.

Your PSU will power a couple of main things.
on that motherboard.

The main connection being a 24pin Connector which basically powers your motherboard. You'll see it on the East side of the motherboard. Biggest connection.

A 4-Pin Connector on the North - West side of your motherboard, which powers your CPU.

that is the only 2 connection from your PSU to your motherboard.

Note that your PSU will also have to be connected directly to your GFX card if you have one that requires it.

and your Hard Drive / SSD / etc.

There are only two cables that connect to the motherboard from the PSU. The large 24-pin and the 4-pin (or 4+4 pin). The 24-pin cable goes to the 24-pin header. The 4 (or 4+4) pin cable goes to the 4-pin header. Page 1-1 and 1-2 of your manual will show you where those headers are located. They are ID'ed as item 1 on the sketch.
