INTEGRATOR’S NOTE
The board may be powered by using an external 12 VDC or internal 12 VDC power
supply using a 2 x 2 pin connector. Use of an external 12 VDC power supply is
preferred.
2. Update to the system power consumption information in Section 2.7 of the
Technical Product Specification.
2.7 Power Consumption
Power measurements were performed to determine bare minimum and likely
maximum power requirements from the board, as well as attached devices, in order to
facilitate power supply rating estimates for specific system configurations.
System Power Consumption:
Total Current Draw at 12V PSU Total Power Consumption
Minimum Load 1.02 A 12.28 W
Maximum Load 4.62A 55.44W
Subsystem Power Consumption:
Subsystem Current Draw at
12VPSU
Subsystem Power Consumption
2GB SO-DIMM 0.17A 2.04W
3.5in SATA HDD 0.525A 6.24W
2.5in PATA HDD 0.3A 3.6W
4965AGN 802.11a/b/g/n 0.15A 1.8W
Z-U130 USB flash drive 0.31A 3.72W
SATA DVD-R/W 0.29A 3.48W
Reserved header 0.925A 11.1W
PCI riser card w/PCI cards 0.19A 2.28W
Non-kbd/mouse USB ports 0.72A 8.64W
Therefore, motherboard power consumption is as follows:
• Board power at minimum load (system power at minimum load minus power from
SO-DIMM): 12.28W - 2.04W = 10.24W
• Board power at maximum load (system power at maximum load minus power from
all subsystems in table above): 55.44W - 42.9W = 12.54W
