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 of 1 GHz and faster.

The

P8SC8/P8SCi accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Al-

though most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by

the CPU, some are inadequate. A 2 amps of current supply on a 5V Standby

rail is strongly recommended.

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that

meets 12V ATX power supply Specification 1.1 or above. Additionally, in

areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to in-

stall 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.

motherboard has a 3-pin header (WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a

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.

Wake-On-Ring (WOR) Header

Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem

ringing when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem

ring-on can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power

supply.

*Warning: Do not use a wrong type of onboard CMOS battery or

install the onboard CMOS battery upside down to avoid any

possible explosion.
