X6DVL-G/X6DVL-EG User's Manual
External Modem Ring-On (WOR)
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.

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 X6DVL-G/X6DVL-EG accommodates ATX power supplies. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some are
inadequate. You should use one that will supply at least 400W of power. In addi-
tion, a +12V, 8-pin CPU power supply is also required for high-load confi gurations.
Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
NOTE: In addition to the 24-pin main power, a 12V 8-pin power connector
(PW2) is required to support Intel Xeon processors. See Section 2-5 for details
on connecting the power supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specifi cation 2.02 or above. 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.

Super
I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a fl oppy disk drive
controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator,
write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator,
drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions
integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required
for interfacing with fl oppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports 360 K, 720 K, 1.2
M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or
1 Mb/s. It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable
baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt
system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with 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 sup-
port higher speed modems.
The Super I/O supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-directional Printer
Port (BPP) , Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) or Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).
