The BIOS supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI) 3.0 specification. A key feature of ACPI is that the operating system, not the BIOS, configures and implements power management. The VX40 terminal supports the Global system power states defined by ACPI.
It is not safe to disassemble the machine in this state. ACPI Sleep States (S0 - S5) Under the G1 sleeping state ACPI defines levels of system sleep state support. The VX40 supports the following sleeping states: S0—Normal Powered-On state S1 (Standby)—The S1 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state.
Page 50
S1 sleeping state except that the CPU and system cache context is lost (the OS is responsible for maintaining the caches and CPU context). Control starts from the processor's reset vector after the wake event. In NCR Voyix systems, during S3, power is only provided to the USB 3.0 ports.
