Effects Of Pressing The Power Switch; Power States And Targeted System Power - Intel D848PMB Specification

Intel Desktop Board D848PMB Technical Product Specification
Table 8 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how
ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system.
Table 8.

Effects of Pressing the Power Switch

If the system is in this state...
Off
(ACPI G2/G5 – Soft off)
On
(ACPI G0 – working state)
On
(ACPI G0 – working state)
Sleep
(ACPI G1 – sleeping state)
Sleep
(ACPI G1 – sleeping state)

The Desktop Boards' compliance level with ACPI
1.12.1.1 System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The
operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and
knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be
turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the
system as a whole into a low-power state.
Table 9 lists the power states supported by the Desktop Board D848PMB along with the associated
system power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system
and power states.
