2.11 Electrical Considerations

2.11.1 DC Loading

Table 37 lists the DC loading characteristics of the board.

2.11.2 Add-in Board Considerations

The boards are designed to provide 2 A (average) of +5 V current for each add-in board. The total
+5 V current draw for add-in boards for the boards is as follows:
•
A fully loaded Desktop Board D865PERC (all six expansion slots and the AGP slot filled)
must not exceed 14 A.
•
A fully loaded Desktop Board D865PESO (all three expansion slots and the AGP slot filled)
must not exceed 8 A.

2.11.3 Fan Connector Current Capability

CAUTION
The processor fan must be connected to the processor fan connector, not to a chassis fan
connector. Connecting the processor fan to a chassis fan connector may result in onboard
component damage that will halt fan operation.
Table 38 lists the current capability of the fan connectors.
