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.

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.
Note 1: The X11SSZ Series motherboard alternatively supports an 8-pin 12V DC input
power supply at JPW2 for embedded applications. The 12V DC input is limited to 30A
by design. It provides up to 360W power input to the motherboard. Please keep the
onboard power usage within the power limits specified above. Overcurrent power us-
age may cause damage to the motherboard.
Note 2: Please connect both the 8-pin DC power at JPW2 and JPW1 to make sure the
CPU receives enough power for normal operation when using the ATX power supply.
