Chapter 1: Introduction
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.In areas
where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install 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. For the A2SDV-8C/-12C+/16C-TLN5F motherboard,
please use a power supply that supports 2.5A or above on 5V standby.
1.7 Serial Port
The A2SDV-8C/-12C+/-16C-TLN5F motherboard supports two serial communication
connection. COM port 1 (RJ45 socket) and COM port 2 (internal header) can be used for
input/output. The UART provides legacy speeds with a baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well
as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support high-speed
serial communication devices.
