    Special Features S5 Eco Kontron‘s new high-efficient power-off state S5 Eco enables lowest power-consumption in soft-off state – less than 1 mA compared to the regular S5 state this means a reduction by at least factor 200! In the "normal" S5 mode the board is supplied by 5V_Stb and needs usually up to 300mA just to stay off. This mode allows to be switched on by power button, RTC event and WakeOnLan, even when it is not necessary.
