System States And Power States - Intel DH61AG Specification

Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Technical Product Specification
1.13.1.1

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 11 lists the power states supported by the board along with the associated
system power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the
various system and power states.

Notes:
1. Total system power is dependent on the system configuration, including add-in boards and peripherals
powered by the system chassis' power supply.
2. Dependent on the standby power consumption of wake-up devices used in the system.
