Note:
Desktop peripherals, including add-in cards, will not work in mobile power mode. If
desktop peripherals are used, the platform must be powered using desktop power
mode. The AC Brick power supply configuration does not provide the 12 V supply
required by most desktop peripherals.
Note:
Select a power supply that complies with the "ATX12V" 1.1 specification. For more
information, refer to http://www.formfactors.org.
Note:
If the power button on the ATX power supply is used to shut down the system, wait at
least five seconds before turning the system on again to avoid damaging the system.
Other Devices and Adapters: The evaluation board functions much like a standard
desktop computer motherboard. Most PC-compatible peripherals can be attached and
configured to work with the evaluation board.
