Page 38: 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 of 300 MHz and above. The SUPER PIIISCA/PIIISCD/PIIISCE/370SC3/370SCI/370SCD accommodates ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. -
