ACPI

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug

and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with this board requires an

operating system that provides full ACPI support. ACPI features include:

•

Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration)

•

Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in

boards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives

•

Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-on/standby

sleeping state

•

A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer

•

Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 7 on page 31)

•

Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch
