To enable reliable operation of AMD Athlon™ XP processor-based systems,
the selection of the correct power supply is critical. Consideration needs to
be given to the system power needs as well as the quality of the power supply.
Many supplies are available today that support AMD Athlon™ XP processors,
however, the electrical characteristics of industry standard market power supplies
and the quality of these power supplies are important to enable correct functionality.
When selecting a power supply for your system, the following list
of power supply manufacturers can be referenced as an example of those whose
product has been evaluated by AMD for use with AMD Athlon™ XP processors for the
given power supply form factor. Each of the power supply manufacturers listed
has power supply solutions that are recommended for their capability to supply
appropriate power on the +5V, +3.3V, +12V, and +5vsb power rails. This list
is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all power supply manufacturers
that support AMD Athlon™ XP processors but is rather a list of legacy power supplies
tested by AMD in the past. Many other power supplies are readily available on
the market today and should be considered when determining your system configuration.
Because of the tight control OEMs can maintain over the configuration
and power consumption of their products, AMD OEM customers can use power supplies
that are not usually recommended by AMD for use with a particular processor.
Any questions about power supplies used in OEM systems should be directed to
the system manufacturer.
