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.
Hardware Support CAUTION! Ensure that the power supply provides adequate +5 V standby current if LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology features are used. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.
Page 30
LAN wake Capabilities CAUTION! For LAN wake capabilities, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing LAN wake capabilities can damage the power supply.
Page 31
Wake from USB USB bus activity wakes the computer from ACPI S1 or S3 states. Note: Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB. Wake from PS/2 Devices PS/2 device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state. PME# Signal Wake-up Support When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state (with Wake on PME enabled in BIOS).

Chapter 4: System BIOS What is the BIOS? The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is an important piece of software which is stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) chip inside the computer. It consists of the basic instructions for controlling the disk drives, hard disk, keyboard and serial/parallel ports.
BIOS Upgrades A new version of the BIOS can be upgraded from a diskette using the iFLASH.EXE utility that is available from Intel. This utility does BIOS upgrades as follows: • Updates the flash BIOS from a file on a disk.
BIOS Flash Memory Organisation The Intel Firmware Hub (FWH) includes a 8 Mbit flash memory device. Internally, the device is grouped into eight 64-KB blocks that are individually erasable, lockable, and unlockable. The 8-Mbit flash component is organised as 256 KB x 8 bits and is divided into areas as described in Table 27.
The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as Intel LANDesk® Client Manager to use DMI. information: • BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level.
Page 61
• Suspend/resume switch connected to the front panel sleep connector. • From the operating system, such as the Suspend menu item in Windows 95. In standby mode, the motherboard reduces power consumption by using SMM capabilities, spinning down hard drives, and reducing power to or turning off VESA DPMS-compliant monitors.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating system. ACPI features include: • Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM functionality normally contained in the BIOS.

Power Supply Connector When used with an SSI ATX-compliant power supply that supports remote power on/off, the motherboard can turn off the system power through software control. To enable soft-off control in software, advanced power management must be enabled in the Setup program and in the operating system. When the system BIOS receives the correct APM command from the operating system, the BIOS turns off power to the computer.

Other Information Reliability The mean time between failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Bellcore Reliability Prediction Procedure, TR-NWT-000332, Issue 4, September 1991. The MTBF prediction is for: • Redesigning the motherboard for alternate components if failure rates exceed reliability expectations.
Chapter 6: Glossary Advanced Dynamic Execution Part of the Pentium® 4 processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. Improved branch prediction algorithm accelerates the flow of work to the processor and helps overcome the deeper pipeline. Very deep, out-of-order speculative execution allows the processor to view 126 instructions in flight and handle up to 48 loads and 24 stores in the pipeline.

Light Emitting Diode - a light which indicates activity - for example hard disk access. PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Developed by Intel, PCI is a local bus standard. A bus is a channel used to transfer data to (input) and from (output) a computer and to or from a peripheral device. Most PCs have a PCI bus usually implemented at 32-bits providing a 33 MHz clock speed with a throughput rate of 133 MBps.
