ACPI Function (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface):
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions
of a computer.
The ACPI functions are always “Enabled”. If you want ACPI functions to work normally, you should
notice two things. One is your operating system must support ACPI, as of now only Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98 and Windows
®
2000 supports these functions. The second thing is that all devices and
add-on cards in your system must fully support ACPI, both hardware and software (drivers). If you
want to know if your devices or add-on cards support ACPI or not, please contact the device or add-on
card manufacture for more information. If you want to know more about ACPI specifications, please go
to the address below for more detailed information:

Note: If you enable the ACPI function in the BIOS setup, the SMI function will not work.
ACPI requires an ACPI-aware operating system. ACPI features include:
!
Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM functionality normally contained in
the BIOS.
!
Power management control of individual devices, add-in cards (some add-in cards may require an
ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives.
