Power Specifications
The EPIA CL utilizes an industry standard 20-pin ATX main connector to the power
supply. Due to the EPIA CL platform’s ultra low power requirements a 90 – 120 Watt
ATX power supply is ample for even the heaviest of multimedia system applications.

Linux Driver Support
The EPIA CL-Series mainboards have a very high degree of support under Linux.
Support and drivers are provided through various methods including:
•
Drivers provided by VIA
•
Using a driver built into a distribution package
•
Installing VIA’s pre-compiled driver binary
•
Compiling VIA’s driver source code
•
Installing a third party driver (such as the ALSA driver from the Advanced
Linux Sound Architecture project for integrated audio)
Full instructions for the most popular distribution packages are updated monthly and
are available for free download from the
Linux Arena
on
www.viaarena.com
The
Linux Application notes
on VIA Arena also contains further useful information to
optimize system performance, such as increasing IDE performance beyond the
capabilities of an in-built driver, measuring hard disk performance, enabling
hardware monitoring features and other practical guides such as installing CD re-
writers, enabling the USB 2.0 controller, and much more.
