H8DGU-LN4F+ Serverboard User’s Manual
Main Switch Override Mechanism
The power button can function as a system suspend button. When the user
depresses the power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor
will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power button
again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the power
supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case the
system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just depress and hold the
power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be provided
to the motherboard.
1-7 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 H8DGU-LN4F+ serverboard requires the use of proprietary power supplies.
Please refer to the pinout information for the power connectors in Section 6 of
Chapter 2 for detailed information on power requirements.
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.
Warning: To prevent the possibility of explosion, do not use the wrong type of
onboard CMOS battery or install it upside down.
1-8 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O Winbond® BMC chip includes 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 provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. 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 support higher speed
modems.
