PDSMi User's Manual
The PDSMi accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some are
inadequate. A 2 amps of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended.
The PDSMi accommodates ATX power supplies. It is strongly recommended that
you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specifi cation 2.02
or above. You should use one that will supply at least 350W of power. Also your
power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. It must also be SSI compliant
(info at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmis-
sion 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.
