ATX

POWER SUPPLY

EP-MVP3C/2 Board

Power-On/Off (Remote)

The EP-MVP3C/2 has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX

power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to

the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The systems power On/

Off button should be a momentary button that is normally open.

The EP-MVP3C/2 has been designed with “Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the

system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off button,

and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the EP-MVP3C/2’s onboard

circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system. Windows 95/98 will

control this when the user clicks that they are ready to Shutdown the system.

System Memory Configuration

Memory Layout

The EP-MVP3C/2 supports (3) 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module). The

DIMMs can be either EDO (Extended Data Out) or SDRAM (Synchronized

DRAM). The DIMMs may be installed using just one chip.

• We recommend using SDRAM DIMM can not mixing

with EDO DIMM modules.

• DIMM SDRAM may be 83MHz (-12ns), 100MHz (-10ns) or

125MHz (-8ns) bus speed.

• No Registered DIMM support.

Figure 2 and Table 1 show several possible memory configurations using

* SDRAM only supports 8, 16, 32, 64, 128MB DIMM modules.

DIMM Module Installation

Figure 3 displays the notch marks and what they should look like on your DIMM

memory module.

DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches that will match with the onboard DIMM

socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a

90 degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 6) until it fits tightly into the

DIMM socket (figure 7).
