Protection Once the CPU’s temperature exceeded the tempera- ture limit pre-defined by the CPU, the system will automatically shut- down. This preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe computing environment.
  • Page 13 Introduction This feature allows the network to remotely Wake-On-LAN wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
  • Page 14 Introduction The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Ad- vanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.
