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 of 1 GHz and faster.
The
PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 accommodates 12V ATX power supplies.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the
CPU, some are inadequate. A 2 amps of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is
strongly recommended.
The PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 accommodates ATX power supplies. In addition to
the 24-pin ATX power supply (JPW1), the 12V 8-pin (JPW2) connection is also re-
quired to provide adequate power supply to the system. It is strongly recommended
that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specifi cation
2.02 or above. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. 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 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.
