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
appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed information regarding OS support,
please refer to the Supermicro website.
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.
The X12DPFR-AN6 motherboard has two 8-pin power input connectors (JPWR1/JPWR2) that
can be connected a power distribution board (PDB) via a power adaptor to supply power to
the motherboard. In addition, three 4-pin power output connectors (JPWR_HDD1/2/3) are
used for system HDD/SATA devices.
Warning! To avoid damaging the power supply or the motherboard, be sure to use the 8-pin power con-
nectors for power input to the motherboard only, and use the 4-pin power connectors for power output to
system HDD/SATA devices only. Failure in doing so may void the manufacturer warranty on your power
supply and motherboard.
