  • Page 21: Special Features

    X10DAL-i Motherboard User's Manual Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state.

  • Page 22: Acpi Features

    It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. The X10DAL-i motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 8-pin power connections are also required to en- sure adequate power supply to the system.

  • Page 23: Super I/O

    X10DAL-i Motherboard User's Manual Super I/O The Super I/O supports one high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication port (UART). The UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a processor interrupt system. The UART provides legacy speed with a baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems.
