1-5 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 PDSLA/PDSLE accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although
most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some
are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specifi cation 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V
4-pin power connection (J41) be used for high-load confi gurations. 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.
