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.
The X10SRM-F-/-TF motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies with 8-pin
(Pin
1 ~ Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 ~ Pin 8 is +12V main power) connections, or power supplies with
only 8-pin (Pin 1 ~ Pin 4 is GND; Pin 5 ~ Pin 8 is +12V standby power) connections.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some
are inadequate.
Warning : To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use a
power supply that contains a 24-pin and an 8-pin power connector, or only an 8-pin
power connector. You may either connect the power supply to both the 24-pin power
connector (JPW1) and the 8-pin power connector (JPV1) on the motherboard, or only
the 8-pin power connector.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power
supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more information,
please refer to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, 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 X10SRM-F/-TF motherboard supports two serial communication connections. COM Ports
1 and 2 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.115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced
speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
