1. INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT! It is strongly recommended that at least a 250-watt ATX power
supply be used for this motherboard. Make sure that your ATX power supply
can supply at least 20 amperes on the +5-volt lead and 10mA on the +5-volt
standby lead (+5VSB) (see 19) ATX Power Suppy Connector in 3.8 External
Connectors). Your system may become unstable/unreliable and may experience
difficulty in powering up if your power supply is inadequate.
