The RTC installed on the system board allows your
system to automatically power-on on the set date and
time.
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI
(Advanced 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 suppor t OS Direct Power Management. Currently, only
Windows

2000/XP suppor ts the ACPI function. ACPI when
enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the
Suspend to RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the
system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby”
when you shut down Windows

2000/XP without having 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.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
1A.
When power returns after an AC power
failure, you may choose to either power-on
the system manually, let the system power-on
automatically or return to the state where you left off before power
failure occurs.
