1. INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that at least a 200-watt (235W for full
configuration) 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 Connec-
tor in 3.8 External Connectors). Your system may become unstable/unreliable
and may experience difficulty in powering up if your power supply is inadequate.
