Introduction EP-3VCA2

EP-3VCA2 Form-Factor

The EP-3VCA2 is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of

chassis. ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees

within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power

supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion

slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double

height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of

onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC

manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem,

LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their

products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.

 By integrating more I/O down onto the board and better positioning the hard

drive and floppy connectors material cost of cables and add-in cards is

reduced.

 By reducing the number of cables and components in the system, manufactur-

ing time and inventory holding costs are reduced and reliability will increase.

 By using an optimized power supply, it's possible to reduce cooling costs and

lower acoustical noise. An ATX power supply, which has a side-mounted fan,

allows direct cooling of the processor and add-in cards making a secondary

fan or active heatsink unnecessary in most system applications.

Power-On/Off (Remote)

The EP-3VCA2 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-3VCA2 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-3VCA2s

onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system such as

Windows 95/98. System will be turn off automatically after your click the START

button and resume the Shutdown selection.
