Page 26: System Features
System Features Power Supply OWER ONNECTORS Main power is applied to the VL-EPICs-36 through an EPIC-style 10-pin polarized connector at location J14. Warning! To prevent severe and possibly irreparable damage to the system, it is critical that the power connectors are wired correctly. Make sure to use both +5VDC pins and all ground pins to prevent excess voltage drop. -
Page 27: Power Delivery Considerations
A good power delivery method eliminates such problems as voltage drop and lead inductance. Using the VersaLogic approved power supply (VL-PS200-ATX) and power cable (VL-CBR-2022) will ensure high quality power delivery to the board. -
