X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6(T)F+-LR User’s Manual
2. To provide adequate power to the add-on cards installed on the mother-
board, please connect the UIOP PWR connector to the power supply.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specifi 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
fi 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.
2-7 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller
The Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller is a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
that supports the 2D/VGA-compatible Graphics Core with PCI interface, Virtual
Media, and Keyboard/Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR) modules.
The WPCM450 interfaces with the host system via a PCI interface to communicate
with the Graphics core. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 for remote keyboard/mouse/
virtual media emulation. It also provides LPC interface to control Super IO func-
tions. The WPCM450 is connected to the network via an external Ethernet PHY
module.
The Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller also 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 and an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1
Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
The WPCM450 communicates with onboard components via six SMBus interfaces,
fan control, and Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) buses.

2-8 Super I/O
The Super I/O chip (Winbond W83527HG) provides functions that comply with ACPI
(Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy
and ACPI power management through an SMI or SCI function pin.
