    It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. The X9DR7-LN4F/X9DR7-JLN4F/X9DRE-LN4F motherboard accommodates 24- pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifica- tions required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin power connections are also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system.

  • Page 22: Advanced Power Management

    X9DR7-LN4F/X9DR7-JLN4F/X9DRE-LN4F Motherboard User’s Manual It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more information, please refer to the Website at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from noise.
