Hardware Support

The StorTrends 1312 provides several hardware features that support power
management, including:
•

power connector

•
wake on network event
•
instantly on technology
Wake on network events and Instantly Available technology require power from the +5 V
standby line. The sections discussing these features describe the incremental standby
power requirements for each.
Note:
an operating system that provides full ACPI functionality.
Power Connector
When used with an 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 BIOS Setup
program and in the operating system. When the system BIOS receives the correct power
management command from the operating system, the BIOS turns off the power to the
computer.
With soft-off enabled, if power to the computer is interrupted by a power outage or a
disconnected power cord, when power resumes, the computer returns to the power state it
was in before power was interrupted (on or off).
Fan Connector
The StorTrends 1312 has one fan connector for a processor fan or active fan heatsink.
There are also four extra tachometer inputs.
