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 1 GHz and faster.
The H8DCR-3/H8DCR-i accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most
power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some
are inadequate. A 2 amp current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recom-
mended.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets
12V ATX power supply Specifi cation 1.1 or above. Additionally, 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.
