1. Power Connector 24 pin block ATXPWR1 ATX Power Supply connector This is a new defined 24 pin connector that usually comes with ATX case The ATX Power Supply allows using soft power on momentary switch that connect from the front panel switch to 2 pins Power On jumper pole on the motherboard When the power switch on the back of the ATX power supply turned on the full power will not come into the system board until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed Press this switch again will turn off the power to the system board We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2 0 compliant power supply unit PSU with a minimum of 350W power rating This type has 24 pin and 4 pin power plugs If you intend to use a PSU with 20 pin and 4 pin power plugs make sure that the 20 pin power plug can provide at least 15 on 12V and the power supply unit has a minimum power rating of 350W The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate Please refer to Figure 1 for 20 pin power plug connection Power plug and motherboard power connectors has adopted key design to avoid installation mistake through connection can be made easily if in the proper direction If the installation direction is incorrect and you make the connection by force both the board and the power supply can be burned Please see to it that the direction is correct during installation 3 E i ROW1 ROW2 ROW1 ROW2 Vi GND2.

4. In this case we recommend users select a CPU fan with air outlet towards MOSFET so that CPU fan can carry away heat CAUTION produced by MOSFET for better heat dissipation effects At the same time we suggest using well ventilated cases to maintain temperature as 38 C approximately inside 38 C is recommended by CPU manufactures Cool air flowing in Hot air flowing out Figure 1 CPU Fan can not blow off the heat produced by MOSFET We suggest not to using fans of this kind Cool air flowing in Hot air flowing out Le MOSFET E i EET Figure 2 CPU Fan can blow off the heat produced by MOSFET We suggest using fans of this kind Subject 3 Thunder Protection Feature Introduction Thunder is such formidable natural force that it can render massive damage to electronic products of all kinds In thunderstorm season computer systems without powerful thunder protection designs are vulnerable to electric surge damage High priced building with thunder protection measures may be a good choice but usually costly and with corners 16 uncovered The best solution for both cybercaf s owner and common users would be Thunder Series motherboards Thunder Protection Technology from Thunder Series Motherboard Thunder series motherboards are integrated with double thunder protection walls one trom network port and the other from LAN chip When it thunders the first thunder protection wall will
