Introduction
Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN must
be enabled in BIOS. Note that Wake-On-LAN can only be used with an ATX
2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for
proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that
have high CPU clock rates.
The SUPER X6DHT-G accommodates ATX 24-pin power supplies. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU,
some are inadequate. You should use one that will supply at least 400W of
power. Your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. The
+12V, 4-pin power connector (J38) is required to ensure adequate power
supply to the system. Additionally, you should also use the onboard 12V 8-
pin power connector (J1D1) to support Intel Xeon CPUs. Failure to provide
this extra power will cause the CPU to become unstable after only a few
minutes of operation. See Section 2-5 for details on connecting the power
supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that
meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI
compliant (info at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas where
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter
to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a
power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.
1-7 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a floppy disk
drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data
separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selec-
tion, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA
logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly
reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk
drives. The Super I/O supports 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk
drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.It also
provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports
(UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a program-
mable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a pro-
