I just bought a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 mother board and an Antec BP550 Plus power supply. When I was connecting the ATX 12V connector from the power supply (which is two 2×2 connectors) I noticed that the connector on the mother board is keyed in such a way that only one of the 2×2 connectors plugs in.
Is there some sort of adapter I need to get to make this work? Would it be disastrous to only connect one of the 2×2 connectors? Do I just need a new power supply?

So I called tech support and they told me that as long as the CPU runs at 95w or lower it is perfectly OK to only use the 2x2 connector and leave the other part empty. Since i'm running an I5 Lynfield 670 i should be fine. Hope this helps someone.
P.S. They have great tech support. Nice to talk with someone in tech support that actually knows what they are talking about...
