Trusted Platform Module (Optional); Location Of The Standby Power Indicator Led - Intel BLKD945PSNLK Technical Product Specification

Intel Desktop Board D945PSN Technical Product Specification
1.12.2.9 WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support
When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI
S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.
1.12.2.10 +5 V Standby Power Indicator LED
The +5 V standby power indicator LED shows that power is still present even when the computer
appears to be off. Figure 14 shows the location of the standby power indicator LED.
CAUTION
If AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicator is still lit, disconnect the power
cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the board. Failure to do so could
damage the board and any attached devices.

1.13 Trusted Platform Module (Optional)

The optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component on the desktop board that is
specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today's
software by providing a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using
both hardware and software, the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most
vulnerable stages—operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form. The
TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication information
from software-based attacks.
