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.
1.7 Serial Port
The X10SDE-DF motherboard supports one serial communication connection via KVM.
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.
