Question on the EATX12V connector

I'm installing a Asus P5Q Pro mobo and I have a question on the EATX12V connector. It seems to come with 4 of the 8 pins covered with a cap.
The manual says "Make sure to remove the cap on the EATX12V connector before connecting an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug."

I am using a OCZ GameXstream psu and it has two 4 pin cpu connectors (cpu1 & cpu2). The socket on the mobo seems to have locking tabs on each side so do I just plug both these into that or do I need a special 8 pin plug ?

Re: Question on the EATX12V connector

As far as I can compare, I had the same "thing" as you on an asus maximus formula with 2x 4 pins connectors on the psu. I didn't need anything special to connect them in the 8 pins connector on the MB: one on the left and one on the right (after removing the "cap").
I'm not even sure there's only one way to connect them.
