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
the appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed information on OS support, please

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 where
noisy power transmission is present.
1.7 Advanced Power Management
The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.
Intel
Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM)
®
The Intel's Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with real-time
thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency. Although IPNM
Specification Version 2.0/3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller),
your system must also have IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) firmware installed
to use this feature.
Note: Support for IPNM 2.0/3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used in
