SUPER P6DGS/P6DGE/P6DGU/P6SGU accommodates ATX power supplies.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by
the CPU, some power supplies are not adequate.
It is highly recommended that you use a high quality power supply which
meets ATX power supply specification 2.01. Additionally, in areas where
noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter
to separate noise from the computer. You can also install a power surge
protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of Super I/O chip include a floppy disk
drive controller compatible with the industry standard 82077/765, data
separator, write pre-compensation circuit, decode logic, data rate selection,
clock generator, drive interface control logic, and interrupt and DMA logic.
The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduced
the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives.
The Super I/O supports four 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.
The Super I/O provides two high speed 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, com-
plete modem control capability, and a processor interrupt system. Both
UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate up to 115.2 Kbps and also
advanced speed with baud rates of 230 K, 460 K, or 921 Kbps which
support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-directional
Printer Port (BPP) and also Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) and Extended Ca-
pabilities Port (ECP). Also available, through the printer port interface pins,
are: Extension FDD Mode and Extension 2FDD Mode allowing one or two
external floppy disk drives to be connected.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Con-
figuration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI
power management through SMI or SCI function pin. It also has auto power
management to reduce power consumption.
