tion for 3 or more USB ports, the 5VSB power source of
your power supply must support

RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically power-on on the set date and time.

figuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy sav-
ing features that enables PCs to implement Power Management
and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct

system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby”

98SE/2000/ME/XP without hav-
ing to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing
files, applications and operating system. This is because the system
is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire
operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it
powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly where you
left off the next time you power-on the system.

The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
