Corsair MB connectors seem wrong for Asus Crosshair III Formula

Assembling a ASUS Crosshair III formula motherboard and trying to attach power from Corsair TX750. It appears it can't work. The ASUS manual insists "Use only an 8-pin EPS +12V power plug for the EATX12V connector". But the TX750 appears to have two legs that have a 'six pin connectors' with a '2 pin attached'. Can this power supply be used with this board or not?

Thanks for any help at all, this is my first build.

It has all of the required cable connections. DO NOT USE the PCI-E 8 pin for the EPS/ATX12V 8-4 pin connection.

Seems so obvious now... thanks a lot for pointing the other direction.
