Page 20: Special Features
X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD/X9DRD-7LN4F Motherboard User’s Manual Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state.
Page 21: Acpi Features
It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. The X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD/-7LN4F motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the speciﬁ cations required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 12V 8-pin, and the 4-pin power connections are also required to ensure adequate power supply to the system.
Page 22: Super I/O
X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD/X9DRD-7LN4F Motherboard User’s Manual 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 website at http://www.ssiforum.org/).
