Both power supplies on the desktop and minitower models are new compared to those used on previous platforms (Vectra VL 6/xxx and XA 6/xxx). The difference is at the V standby level, which has been extended to deliver 300mA instead of 100mA. This extra current is required by the 100TX hardware layer so it can perform a remote power-on upon reception of a magic frame.

MaxiLife is partially replacing HP ASIC (Little Ben), and provides the necessary hardware monitoring control. However, MaxiLife is not accessible in I/O space or memory space of the system platform, but only through the SMBUS (which is a sub-set of the I2C bus), via the PCI/ISA chipset (PIIX4E South Bridge).

Page 97: Post Test Sequence And Post Error Codes
Post Test Sequence and Post Error Codes In order to check that the CPU is able to run the BIOS boot code (POST phase) from the ﬁrst CPU instructions through to DIMM detection, MaxiLife ﬁrmware waits for a synchronization event from the BIOS. Any failure that prevents the execution of the ﬁrmware will therefore trigger the BIOS error and will display the following message on the LCD status panel.
