1-5 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 H8QM8-2/H8QME-2 accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although 
most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some 
are inadequate. A 2 amp current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended. 
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets 
12V ATX power supply Specifi cation 1.1 or above. Additionally, in areas where 
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line fi lter 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. 
Warning:  To prevent the possibility of explosion, do not use the wrong type of 
onboard CMOS battery or install it upside down.
Wake-On-Ring Header (JWOR)
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.
