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.
