Спец. форма контактной колодки не позволит нарушить полярность при подключении источника питания
Explanation:
спец. stands for специальная (или особая).

If you open your computer's outer case (please, only AFTER unplugging it from the mains and waiting for 30 seconds to let the power supply capacitors discharge!), you will see that the power supply is connected to the motherboard by a multicolored four-wire cable having a funny trapeze-shaped white plastic connector. You cannot fry your expensive motherboard by connecting the wrong terminals and reversing the voltage. This self-resolving-problem miracle is achieved using the "fool-proof" (or, for the politically correct, "poka-yoke") method of designing a connector with one and only one - RIGHT - possible connection polarity.

Good luck!
