motherboard. Failure in doing so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power
supply and motherboard. 2. To provide adequate power to SATA devices, please con-
nect the SATA DOM PWR connector (JSD1) to the power supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in
areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line
lter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a
power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.
1-7 Super I/O
The Super I/O supports two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable
baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt
system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps
as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which
support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Conguration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-
ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management
to reduce power consumption.
1-8 Advanced Power Management
The following advanced power management features are supported by this moth-
erboard:
Intel
®
Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the NMView utility is installed in the system)
The Intel
®
Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.
Although IPNM Specication Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-
ability Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Version 2.0 depends
on the power supply used in the system.
