Super X11DAi-N User's Manual

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5
user of certain system events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you
with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds
go beyond a predefined range.

1.5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines
a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power
management features throughout a computer system including its hardware, operating system
and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as network cards, hard disk drives and printers.
In addition to enabling 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 10, and Windows 2012 operating systems.

1.6 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable
operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. In areas
where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield
the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to
help avoid problems caused by power surges.

1.7 Super I/O

The Super I/O (ASpeed AST2500 chip) provides a high-speed, 16550 compatible serial
communication port (UART), which supports serial infrared communication. The UART
includes send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control
capability, and a processor interrupt system. The UART provides legacy speed with baud
rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or
1 Mb/s, supporting higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI
or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
