Notes
•
Hibernate or Suspend to Disk
(S4)
•
Power is off (S5)
System is in a low power state,
either S1 or S3. This does not
indicate a fault condition.
This entry provides for the
possibility of a delay from
SLP_S3# active to PWRGD_PS
inactive.
Boot Failure - The computer is
receiving electrical power, and
power supplied by the power
supply is normal. A device might
be malfunctioning or incorrectly
installed. Refer to the table
below for Amber Blinking
Pattern diagnostics suggestion
and possible failures.
Boot Failure - This is a system
fault error condition, including
the power supply. Only the
+5VSB rail on the power supply
is working correctly.
This indicates that the host
BIOS has started to execute and
the LED register is now writable.
