  • Page 48 6VX7-4X Motherboard A.5 Notices: In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and software requirements must be satisfied: Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (provide more than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current). Your SDRAM must be PC-100 compliant. Jumper JP5 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis.
