ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica-
tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including
its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system
to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard
disk drives and printers.
In addition to operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides
a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating system-
independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and
Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 8 and
Windows 2012 operating systems.

clock rates.
The X10DGO(-T) motherboard accomodates two power connectors to get power
from the midplane. At least two power supply modules are required to power up
the system.
