Hardware Installation

ATX 12V Power Supply: ATX PW

Attach the ATX 12V Power cable to three connector. (This motherboard requires an ATX 12V power supply, an AT or ATX power supply can NOT be used.)

When using the Power-On by PS/2 Keyboard function, please make sure the ATX power supply is able to provide at least 720mA on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB).

PS. Power supply must be compliant to the ATX 12V specification.

A new superset of the original ATX power supply is now defined. Named “ATX 12V,” this new power supply is comprised of a standard ATX unit plus the following enhancements:

Increased +12 VDC output capability. Motherboard components with unique voltage requirements are increasingly expected to be powered via DC/DC converters off the +12 VDC power supply output. This trend is primarily due to the higher power conversion and transmission efficiencies of +12 VDC relative to +5 VDC or +3.3 VDC. ATX12V power supplies should be designed to accommodate these increased +12 VDC current requirements and to address associated issues such as cross-regulation, capacitive loading, transient surge tolerance, cable voltage drop, and cooling.

New +12V power connector. To enable the delivery of more +12 VDC current to the motherboard, a new 4-pin receptacle/header combination--the +12V power

connector-has been defined. The presence of the +12 V power connector indicates that a power supply is ATX12V; the absence of the +12V power connector indicates that a supply is ATX.

Please install the ATX power according to the following pin assignment:
