Use a power supply that complies with the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 1.1.

An ATX12V power supply unit has a standard 20-pin ATX main power connector that must be

inserted into the 20-pin connector. The 4-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of

more +12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module (VRM).

The power connectors from the power supply unit are designed to fit the 20-pin and 4-pin

connectors in only one orientation. Make sure to find the proper orientation before plugging

the connectors.

The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply to operate. Your system

configuration (CPU power, amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the

minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, we strongly recom-

mend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or greater) power supply.

Important:

Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability or the add-in boards

and peripherals not functioning properly. Calculating the system’s approximate power

usage is important to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s consumption

requirements.

Battery

The lithium ion battery powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. It is an auxiliary source

of power when the main power is shut off.

Safety Measures

• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.

• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.
