EP-3VBA Form-Factor

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

chassis. MicroATX 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, manufac-

turing 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-3VBA 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-3VBA 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-3VBA’s

onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system. Win-

dows 95 will control this when the user clicks that they are ready to Shutdown the

system.
