1.13.1 Software Support
The software support for power management includes:
APM
ACPI
If the board is used with an ACPI-aware operating system, the BIOS can provide ACPI support.
Otherwise, it defaults to APM support.
1.13.1.1 APM
APM makes it possible for the computer to enter an energy saving standby mode. The standby
mode can be initiated in the following ways:
Time-out period specified in the BIOS Setup program
From the operating system, such as the Suspend menu item in Windows 98
In standby mode, the board can reduce power consumption by spinning down hard drives, and
reducing power to or turning off VESA
can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS Setup program.
While in standby mode, the system retains the ability to respond to external interrupts and service
requests, such as incoming faxes or network messages. Any keyboard or mouse activity brings the
system out of standby mode and immediately restores power to the monitor.
The BIOS enables APM by default; but the operating system must support an APM driver for the
power management features to work. For example, Windows 98 supports the power management
features upon detecting that APM is enabled in the BIOS.
